Yes, that's it - write to the db, then pass the key. Thanks for your insight.

It might be cleaner to write to the DB immediately then pass just the key to the next page. If you must do it the way you are, then you probably would want to just use a session variable. There would be no reason to use WDDX unless you have to store the information in a cookie (that includes client variables). If you must use the url and cannot write to the db before relocating, then you must have some very strict checks in place on the page that does write to the DB to avoid hackers messing with your database. +-----------------------------------------------+ Bryan Love Macromedia Certified Professional Internet Application Developer Database Analyst TeleCommunication Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-----------------------------------------------+ "...'If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace'..." - Thomas Paine, The American Crisis "Let's Roll" - Todd Beamer, Flight 93 -----Original Message----- From: Mark Leder [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2003 1:07 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Passing URL vars between pages Hi all, I've got a messy (lengthy) <cflocation URL="process.cfm?emailaddress=#URLEncodedFormat(URL.emailadr)#&...> which I contemplated passing about 25 URL variables between one page and a second. On the second page, I would use the URL vars to populate a db. I don't need to keep the vars beyond the second page after they've been written. With this amount of vars what's a good way to accomplish: session, WDDX packet, etc? I know how to write a session, but it seems like a lot for just a one-page pass. If I do a WDDX Serialization, I don't know how to write it, and need an example. Thanks in advance.
