Lets say that I have page A, page B and page C (all input pages). B and C are input a new item or choose an existing item. Page A needs input from page B to be submitted and page B may need input from A to be submitted but definatly needs input from page C. Page C may or may not need input from page A. So if the user goes to page A and enters some information and then goes to page B he might go to A to enter new information which will wipe out the old information for A in the session. (This database is linked up all over the place). So the only solution I had for awhile besides using a ton of logic an field variables was javascript windows...obviosly not a clean solution. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
