Why not just write out to a 'includethistext.txt' file on the protected form's action, ideally outside the webroot, but if all you need is protection you can do it in the protected directory. Then on the unprotected form, read that file in using CFFILE from the location that you know you wrote it out to and then display it on the unprotected form. That way, if the application goes down, when it comes back up, it still has the file to read from. I feel I'm missing something in your explanation though. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:252858 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
