Re: Passing Variables

To go back to a previous conversation, I would not put it on the action=. You are using METHOD=post? I wold use <input name=UserID value==\"$UserID\" type=hidden> or to really hide them use session variables so they are completely hidden. Or use a cookie (but that is not the most secure way).
