Hi Earl,
I assume you are you storing the form info in a database until they return. If so, I
assume you have a key in the database to
identify the info as that person's. Say for illustration that your key is perhaps an
ID number you generate at the time they submit
the form you could do this:
First) Do your insert into the database.
Second) Query the database and get the ID number plus the info they submitted to
generate the email
Third) In the email, place a link like so:
http://www.yourdomain.com/form.cgi?key=somenumber
Then, when they come back to the site, your form would parse the URL:
<CFQUERY>
SELECT *
FROM yourFormTable
WHERE ID = #URL.key#
</CFQUERY>
Then do the output back into a form where they can check and update.
This is a very simple version but will work.
Good luck,
Dave

Hi,
I've created a data entry/data update form which generates a =
confirmation email containing the data entered into the form. The email =
must also contain a link back to the form in case the user wants to =
modify any of the data he/she had entered. How can I code that link in =
such a way as it will generate the data update form filled with the =
appropriate data?
Sincerely,
