Actually, what is happening is that in the combination of events I described, the form field values are being 'duplicated'.
<form name="Firstname" value="Mandy"> Will be passed to the recieving page as: <cfoutput>"#form.FirstName#"</cfoutput> Which would resolve to: "Mandy,Mandy" So, I'm afraid it's not a scoping issue.
