Hi Chirag, Check if the regular expression libraries are installed properly. There might be some collision between your "RegExp" library CLSID's... I am just guessing, you can have a look... OR Try to design some simple application in VB using "Regular Expression" library. This might tell you where exactly the problem is... I cant see other things that should take time... all the best !

thanx for the help. Well i thought that https should be used only wen needed. (cause it is heavier than http in terms of performance) Correct me if i am wrong. Is it that both perform equally efficiently if the data returned by the server is large ????? If both are same then PROBLEM SOLVED but..... If https is heavier at all... is there another way i can switch between http and https.

Response.Redirect(...) or Server.Transfer(...)
