From my studio guy, Chris McIlvoy:

i figured it out. this works:


System.Threading.Thread myThread = new System.Threading.Thread(new ThreadStart(CreateTextFile));
myThread.Priority = ThreadPriority.Highest;
myThread.Start();

Server.Transfer("Confirmation.aspx",false);


however if i use
Response.Redirect("Confirmation.aspx?OrderID=" + orderId,false);

instead of the Server.Transfer line it does not work on the server(running 2000server) but it does work with the Response.Redirect on my laptop(running XP). both system running . net Framework 1.1.

any ideas? thanks
