Data Pages Out of Date

[Kevin]

Have done a small database page for use with MSDE. Problem is when new data
entered the browser seems to store an old version and shows the old data. Is
there any way to force a browser to re-load the page on each visit?

Hi Kevin,

Assuming you're using ASP page they always refresh. Do you have a firewall with a cache?

Am using
Response.Expires = 0
Response.CacheControl = "Private"

Assumed was browser cache??

Kevin,

Neither of those will affect a Firewall cache system. Do you have a fire wall cache?

 

[Kevin]

No - IE6 via a 3COM ISDN router, that uses NAT.

Hi,
you could try
<%
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #2000-01-01#
Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "private, no-cache, must-revalidate"
%>

This is about the best you can do

If the ASP page is producing data then it should display the new page results.

Thanks Mike

I know it should - but please tell IE6 that!!

Suggestion by Jon to add this:-
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = #2000-01-01#
Response.AddHeader "pragma", "no-cache"
Response.AddHeader "cache-control", "private, no-cache, must-revalidate"

Seems to be helping - so guess is caching in IE6
