redirect user to page

[John]

On my web app I require a user to log in so I can validate them. At times
I'll be sending emails out for a reporting page in the web app, How can I
have the user goto the link I sent to them after they log in and get
validated?
example:
I send http://www.mycaresales.com/reports.aspx

now when they click that link it will take them to the logon page, they get
validated login then they see the first page of my web app, once they log in
I want to take them to http://www.mycarsales.com/reports.aspx instead of
having them navigate through the site to get to this page.

You could capture the HTTP-REFERER server variable on the login page, & then
redirect them after successful authentication. FYI in ASP.NET 2.0 the
default authentication model will automatically redirect users.

ok thanks,
I'm coding in 2.0 but I created my own Logon screen, etc. to validate the
user. I couldn't get noneof the 2.0 logon controls, API's working with my
existing database to validate and login the users
