I on the other hand am NOT an asp programmer, nor do I care to be, even
if they do reconsider my application; but what you want is

servervariables("http_referer")

and you would use something like

<%
badPage = request.servervariables("http-referer")
response.write "I have no page called" & badPage
%>

servervariables is an array containing several useful bits of information
and like any array, you can walk it, and send yourself an e-mail of that
each time your 404 page gets called with lots of diagnostic information
that might help you chase down broken links on your site and on others
