Anyway to return have HTACCESS to return 200 after 403 block?

[brand404]

I am using htaccess to block an ip address via the "deny from #.#.#.#"...i also use the "ErrorDocument 403 /page.htm" to show the user a different page. However, when i do this the user gets back a 403 status code...is there a way to return back a 200 status code and still show the page....ideally i dont want the user to get back a 403 status code when the page content is returned.

Thanks

I'd like to ask why you might want to do this, especially since it may affect the recommendations you might get here.

You can't return a 200-OK using mod_access, but other solutions may be usable -- It depends on what problem you are trying to solve.
