a couple ways you can do it, one would to include javascript which I would ignore if you can.

Another way is to put "<base target="_blank"></base>" inbetween your head tags, but this may affect other links on your page depending on how you coded them.

Another way is to put OnClientClick="form1.target='_blank'" in your button control along with the PostBackUrl="..."

The code to open a new windows in javascript is

'Open in new window
Dim OpenNewPage As String
OpenNewPage = "<script type='text/javascript'>detailedresults=window.open('NewPage.aspx');</script>"
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "", OpenNewPage)

but beware that it gets caught in Firefox & IEs Popup Blockers
