James,
A couple of thoughts on your problem. One is that if both pages use forms, you could
pass the email variable as a hidden the entire way through. Pass it from page 1 to
page 2 as a URL parameter, then use <INPUT TYPE="Hidden" NAME="EMail" VALUE="#EMail#">
to pass it from page 2 to your action page. This is a very clean way of passing your
variables. Hope this helps!
