Where I see this used a lot is in searching/pagination type scenarios...for the submission, the form is POSTED and then on subsequent pages, the data is stored in the url and posted back to the same script.

Yes, but one of the problems with using REQUEST is that if COOKIES are involved, then those values will take precedence over the same variable found in POST or GET (i.e., PGC). Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
