You cannot call an ASP page from FoxISAPI, just as you cannot have ASP call a FoxISAPI page. Only one pre-processor is allowed. The web server will pass off the request to only one recorded system, either the asp.dll or the foxisapi dll. I suppose you could use a response.redirect call from FoxISAPI.

In either ASP or FoxISAPI code, a response.redirect sends a header to the browser telling it what page to request, and the browser then dutifully requests that page (causes a needless round-trip which is fixed with Server.Execute available with IIS5). This way you could have the FoxISAPI page send a redirect to an ASP page. This is kludgy because you can have issues with session variables (if you log into a FoxISAPI session, that same login is not available in the ASP session, etc.)
