I have a card system that will ask for the required information, and one hits a 'Send' button to send the card. This will submit all the information to a database and send the viewer to a 'Thank You' page. The problem is, if they hit reload on that (Thank You) page, (and answer 'yes' to the 'Repost Data' question), a second card will get submitted - with the same information as the first. Needless to say, someone can sit at that screen, and hit 'reload' several times and send the same card over and over again, flooding the recipient's mailbox. How can I avoid this? -- H | Hi, I'm currently out of my mind. Please leave a message. BEEEEP! +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.
