maybe use a redirect ?
It matters how you are closing page 2, if you are closing it with a button, you can use :

If request ("submit") = "close window" then
Response.Redirect "../Forms/page1.asp"
End If

I dont't want using the redirect.

I want forcing show the page1, before closing the page2.

Are you simply looking to bring the first window into focus when the second window is closed?

This wouldn't be done in ASP then.. you'd do it in JavaScript.

Add to your BODY tag of the child window: onUnload="window.opener.focus();"

Body , perfect!!!

But, in link no functional.

The code close the window, press the link.

<a onClick="window.close()" onUnload="window.opener.focus()">

I want openning the page father, after close the page children.

I'm a little lost. I'm not sure what you mean by this. The "onUnload" event handler is only used in the BODY tag. It cannot be used in an A tag. To make your A tag close the window and focus the parent, it'd look like this:

Code:

<html>
<head>
    <title>This is the child window</title>
</head>
<body onUnload="window.opener.focus();">
<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close Window</a>
</body>
</html>

That would close the child window and focus the parent window.

in short no matter how you close the window (link, button, x button in window) the body onunload will always work the same way. As in focusing on the other window in this case.
