Hi, You need to use the Session scope, not the request scope. The request scope only lives for the life of a single web page request. So once your page finishes processing on the server, the request scope is gone. To persist values through a 'session' of a user, you use the 'session' scope. That will allow you to save values between pages.
Of course, you could persist them in a database too, that's another way to do it. It all depends on what exactly you are doing, but if you don't want them in a database yet, then you can use the session scope, just be aware, if the user closes their browser, or their session 'times out' (check your cf administrator settings or cfapplication tag for timeout settings) they will lose that data if it hasn't been persisted to a database.

Each tab is a different page. I have to retain the data that was entered in the pages while navigating through the tabs. For Example: If data is entered in first page and if second tab is clicked and comes back to the first page, the data entered in the first page should not be lost. What can I do to save the data? The page contains 2 <cfselect> controls ( multiple options can be selected ). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;203748912;27390454;j Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/message.cfm/messageid:3981 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Newbie/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.15
