Ed,
On the client side, if you have a form like this:
<form action="http://www.mysite.com/processForm.aspx">
<!--- Other stuff -->
</form>
You can change it to this, and it will open the results of processing
the form in a new window:
<form action="http://www.mysite.com/processForm.aspx" target="newWindow">
<!--- Other stuff -->
</form>
Now, in ASP.NET, you have this in your ASPX page:
<form runat="server" target="newWindow">
<!--- Other stuff -->
</form>
And that will open it in a new window (with the name "newWindow").

Nicholas,
I appreciate your help, but I'm still very confused. I don't know what
you
mean by "add the target element to your form". Also, how and when would I
set the target attribute? Do you have an example you can direct me to or
anything? Web Apps are not my speciality (obviously), so I'm not familiar
with some things that are probably obvious. I appreciate any additional
help
you can provide.

Ed,
What you want to do on your page is add the target element to your
form
(you have to be careful, because target on the ASPX page is going to be
set
to "server", and that's not what you want processed). You can set the
target attribute to a name of the window that the result should be in.
If
there is no window with that name, then a new one with that name is
created.
Hope this helps.
