Hello, If you use input type='hidden' yes they will be part of the input stream. What i suggested was you have form method=post action=/cgi-bin/mycgi.exe?qid=123 then you can retrieve the query string variable from the env. (at least this works with perl cgi and i don't see why it shouldn't

From: John Bryan [EMAIL PROTECTED] The file would already exist on the client side. They are uploading the file to be processed by this program MyCppProg.exe, which is invoked as a form 'action'. This already works, but depends on the Apache variable REMOTE_USER being set when user logs in,
