OK, how do you do that?
Like I said, I'm a total newbie.
Currently I have this in the gridview select

    Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
        Response.Redirect("edituser.aspx")
    End Sub

:)
