Well, the application I am building at the moment uses a series of forms to gather information from the user and then on the final page runs a query based on what has been selected in these forms. So I am storing some of the user's choices in session variables so that they can be passed can be used in the query on the last page. This is quiet a small application. My next one is going to be a large intranet with a lot of personalisation. Oh I love web-rat.com by the way, great site.
