I am trying to automate some posting to a message board where we place announcements
(no spam). I am able to get the entire form to populate itself remotely but i am
confused as to how i can make the form on the remote server submit itself... or if
that is even possible?

Kris,
Not suere what you are after here. Do you mean you have a form in a browser
(i.e. client) that you have populated and you want to submit it to a server
automatically? If you just want to post to a server using cfhttp you can do
that without bothering with a form at all ... the handling server will see
the post submission and posted variables.
<Cfhttp url="http://www.somedomain.com/someform.cfm"; method="post">
<cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="formField1"
value="#somevariable1#">
<cfhttpparam type="FORMFIELD" name="formField2"
value="#somevariable2#">
</CFHTTP>
Of course - its up to you to handle the response by unpacking the
cfhttp.filecontent and header variables.
