Dale, This might be ompletely useless to you but...
In apache I trap 404 and 403 errors and redirect them to a .cfm that decodes the URL and takes appropriate action. But I don't know if you can you do this is IIS? An example apache 'virtualhost' for such a thing would be: <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1> ServerName yoursite DocumentRoot "c:\content\yoursite" ErrorDocument 403 /index.cfm ErrorDocument 404 /index.cfm CustomLog logs/yoursite.log common </VirtualHost> What happens is that URLs like http://yoursite/yourpage get redirected to index.cfm (because 'yourpage' doesn't exist) which then extracts 'yourpage' from the URL and gets the content from the database. In your case I imagine that you would be looking at the form variables and making processing decisions appropriately - and I'm assuming that form variables will get passed through... Anyway, hope that helps...
