Use the http referrer attribute to get the page that calls your login page

Something like:
Dim x As HttpRequest
Response.Write(x.UrlReferrer)

Also, there is a javascript method you can use (history.go(-1)) but remember not all users might have javascript capabilities.

Also, the Referrer isn't always passed through so you'll have to check it exists first.
