You could use response.redirect, depending on what you are doing — Sparky, Nov 22 '10 at 22:34

Server.Transfer method actually doesn't support any kind of querystring specified in the path. You can try to store the query parameter in a session value instead.

can it be solved without session? may be iis 7 or something else? – kusanagi Nov 22 '10 at 05:57
session is a workaround. it doesn't actually fix the problem. – tshao Nov 22 '10 at 07:09

The following might be a work around to using server.transfer or response.redirect.

Response.Write "<script language=javascript>window.location.href = '/default.asp?p=news';</script>"

You would have to include your querystring on the page that does the server transfer.

Ie:

page.asp?p=news would include:

  Server.Transfer("default.asp")

default.asp would include:

  sParam = Request("p") '<-- Your querystring value from page.asp

This should work, or if your app isn't flexible to do this, you can use Session to pass the value. It says here which methods are allowed for passing variables using Server.Transfer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525800%28v=vs.90%29.aspx
