What I ususally do, is as soon as I submit the form I have it close then simply display a "In Progress" page for about 3 secodns then redirect back to where my results show updated
Here's how I close the "In Progress" page.
<body onload="setTimeout('window.close()',3000)">

Hi,
YOu can do what you wanted to do by using TonyU's code and in the popup window add the following js code:
In the Head section
<script>
var howLong = 5500;
t = null;
function closeMe(){
t = setTimeout("self.close()",howLong);
}
</script>
In the body tag have this code:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" onload="closeMe();self.focus()" onUnload="opener.location='yourpageyouwanttorefreshto.asp'";>
This works quite nicely and avoids users going click crazy.
