I'm doing just what you are right now. Follow these steps:
1) form is posted 2) create a new query using QueryNew() 3) add a row to the query using QueryAddRow() 4) add all the form data to the row in the query usingh QuerySetCell() 5) serialize the query into a WDDX packet using CFWDDX 6) set a cookie with the value of the WDDX packet using CFCOOKIE Then wherever you need the data..... 1) deserialze the WDDX packet in the cookie 2) voila you have a query with all form data in it 3) do whatever ya need to to re-create your form as it was left HTH Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
