The Server.Transfer method is an enhanced form of VFP's DO command.  It does not force a round trip to the browser, so the SCRIP_NAME server variable stays the same.  You should use the PROGRAM(), or SYS(16) functions.

After re-reading my question, I must look like a real twit...  Obviously I know which script I'm executing, since I called it...

The question re-phrased :

My pages include the following code :

<% Response.Write(GetContextualHelp(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"))) %>

Now,  the problem becomes more apparent :  Since Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") returns the called script name even after a Server.Transfer(<new_script>), once I have rendered the page, the help content is for the original script that was called by the browser and not the new script I transfered to. 

By the way, I understand that request.servervariables("SCRIPT_NAME") will always return the called script even after a Server.Transfer() since the "request" was for that script.

Is there a way to get the executing script name and not the one requested by the browser ?
Should I use PROGRAM() to determine what I'm executing?

Hope my question is a little more clear now.

Thanks,
Gabriel

I use Sever.Transfer() to execute another fwx script. 
I also rely on Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") to render contextual help. 
However once I have issued Server.Transfer(<new_script>),  Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME") still returns the original script that was called by the client.  Therefore I get the help content for the original script that I called, which in this case is the wrong help content.

My question is : How do I know what script I am executing or should I keep track of these transfers myself and code accordingly ?

Thanks,
Gabriel
