For the record, I hate frames. But I am stuck with them for this project.
Just wanted to get that out of the way so that any helpful replies I get
won't include chastisement for using frames.

OK, here's the question. How can I use a server-side script to determine if
the page being loaded is doing so by itself, vs. in a frame? If it is by
itself, I want to put in ASP code to redirect it to the frames-based page.

You can't, really. I mean, you can kinda by using
Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_REFERER"), but you'd have to cover a lot of
different circumstances to avoid false positives.

This is most often done with client-side script.

(I personally would do location.replace(url), not location.href=url.)
