That is exactly what I want. It is not secure, but it is slightly sneaky. :-)

If you really are not that concerned with security you can do #toBase64("id=123")# to encode and #toString(toBinary(toBase64("id=123")))# to decode. Totally insecure, but kind of sounds like what you want.

What I am looking for is to keep the string as short as possible and to make sure you can not just increment a value and get a different database record? I am not looking to make the values uncrackable, just not worth the effort to decode. I tried Encrypt but it makes the url very long. What I love to see would look some thing like this: Url before: www.somename.com/index.cfm?id=234 www.somename.com/index.cfm?[EMAIL PROTECTED] Url after: www.somename.com/index.cfm?hU54JyF54 www.somename.com/index.cfm?JuYhYt54DFerDFhUhtJK076jNHbGFRFn thanks Mark W.
