Error message Bad Request

[keroed1]

has anyone every get this message when they redirect to another webpage in a sub folder Bad Request??? whenever i do the following i get that message

Response.Redirect(@"Monitoring_&_Technical_Services\Road Safety\Documents.aspx");

but if i use server.transfer it works fine.

P.S.oh yea if i run the project from VISUAL STUDIO 2K5 the response.redirect works the problem only occurs when i am or a client machine browsing the website normally

i am also wondering if i should just use server.transfer since i think i was reading that it is faster and puts less pressure on your web server

What is the @ symbol doing in your response.redirect? Or was that a typo when you wrote your post?

Response.Redirect("Monitoring_&_Technical_Services\\Road Safety\\Documents.aspx");

And I'm glad you got it figured out. But what was your solution? Renamed the directory?
