    Hi,

    I have an asp page where i am trying to close the window without the user been prompted to close it.

    I have the following code
    <script type="text/javascript">
 window.close();
</script>

    but everytime it runs they get a window pop up prompting them to close it.

    Can I get around this problem.

    The browser I am using is IE6

    Thanks for your help

    as far as i know you can only close a window without that message if you used javascript to open it.

    Yep, afaik too, only a parent may close a child window (or a child window may close itself).

    You could fake the window.opener value to suppress this message: 
    <a href="javascript: window.opener='thiswin'; window.close();>Close</a>
