Reset Page on redirect

Question

Hello Friends,
I have different pages in my application.. I have a hyper link to Page 97 on page 1 and page 15 , Also Page 97 has some select on Submits [ redirects to same page]. My concern is, I want to reset the page only when I am taking the link from a different page [page 9,15] but not when I am redirected from page 97 itself.
I have created a 'RESET PROCESS' to reset Page 97 on Page 1 that should fire 'On Submit', but it did not help. am I missing some thing..
Thanks

Chaitu,
I am experimenting with using a "called from" mechanism where I would keep track apex page I came from. I created an application item named CALLED_FROM and created the following computation on page header. This way I can change logic on a page based on where I came from without having to clutter the URL with more parameters.
declare
  l_url    varchar2(1000);
  l_tokens wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
  l_index  pls_integer := 1;
begin
  l_url := owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_REFERER');      -- gets the url which referred us to the current page.
  l_url := substr(l_url,instr(l_url,'f?p=') + 4);     -- gets the colon delimited list of APEX parameters from the url         
  l_tokens := htmldb_util.string_to_table(l_url,':'); -- parses the list into an array.
  if l_tokens(2) is null then                         -- if there is no page id
    return 1;                                         -- return the home page id
  else
    if l_tokens(2) != :app_page_id then               -- if we changed pages
      return l_tokens(2);                             -- assign the new page id
    else
      return :CALLED_FROM;                            -- retain the old page id
    end if;
  end if;
exception
  when others then
    return 1;
end;Basically all this does is it verifies if the referring page is an apex url and if it is then check to see that the referring page is not the current page you are on (some pages refer to themselves for refreshing data). If it is not then the CALLED_FROM application item is set to the referring page id. I have not tested this with page aliases and this is just some code I was experimenting with.
