I don't believe there are any consistent causes of this problem - sometimes it just happens. Refreshing the exact same form will, 9 times out of 10, cure it. However Chris - this might help in your debugging because when IE does fail, it fails by sending an http header of 0 bytes in size. It's not just the post form data that is lost, everything is. So trap that and you should, theoretically, with a little browser detection mojo be able to at least error gracefully. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
