I've seen IIS handle a "method" field without complaint before -- could be corruption in any of the browser (try another browser), IIS (reinstall IIS) or ColdFusion Server (reinstall ColdFusion Server). You can isolate the issue to corruption in either IIS or ColdFusion Server by putting the code on another server temporarily to test.
Incidentally, you should be able to reference the form variable using this: #form[" od"]# -- although I don't know why you'd want to. :) hth Isaac Original Message ----------------------- Have you tried renaming your field name? IIS may not like the word "method". I don't know this for a fact, but it's worth a try.

Strange problem today: IIS 5.0 / Win2k I submit a form that has two fields, "username" and "method". On the subsequent page, the debugging output shows: ----------------- FORM FIELDS OD=act_retrievepass FIELDNAMES= OD,USERNAME USERNAME=xc ----------------- The "meth" is being stripped off of the "method" form field and I end up with an unusable formfield named " od". I can't reference it because the name starts with a space. This just started happening out of the blue! Any ideas? Anyone? I think I might re-install IIS next. BTW, if i save the metabase, can I restore it after I re-install IIS?
