Redirect problem

Hi

I have a page running in a sub folder. In this page I try to redirect to a
page in the Parent (main) root folder of the site like
Response.Redirect("..\staff_login.asp"). The url in the browser
unfortunately translates as;

http://www.mydomian.com/Folder/..%5Cstaff_login.asp

instead of;

http://www.mydomian.com/staff_login.asp

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Regards

Use a forward slash instead of a backslash.
