try these links:

<%
  Response.Buffer = True
  Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
  Response.Expires = 0
  Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
%>

OR

<%
  Response.Buffer = True
  Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
  Response.Expires = 0
  Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"

  If Len(Session("FirstTimeToPage")) > 0 then
    'The user has come back to this page after having visited
    'it... wipe out the session variable and redirect them back
    'to the login page
    Session("FirstTimeToPage") = ""
    Response.Redirect "/Bar.asp"
    Response.End
  End If

  'If we reach here, the user can view the page, create the form
%>

<form method=post action="SomePage.asp">
  <input type=submit>
</form>

There is not direct method or properly available to disable back button.
But alternatively, you can try this:

• clear previous history OR
• use page.expires 
• using javascript some what like this:
  

javascript:window.history.forward(1);
copy this script inside <script language="JavaScript">
</script>
every page, where you wish to disable the back button.this will keep user on the same page. i.e. If user try to hit back button on the browser, page will get forwarded again.

Hope that helps [Yes]
