of your page, and run it.

CFFCS | CarrzSynEdit: | ASP/VBScript

' The src gets the Script_Name?QueryString

scr = Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME")&"?"&Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")
if scr="main.asp?Oldid=3" then
Response.Status="301 Moved Permanently"
Response.AddHeader "Location", "main.asp?id=3"
Response.redirect "main.asp?id=3"
end if
