If you want to pass the information to the next page, you should use a form instead (and don't forget to use htmlencodedformat() around the variable so that the user can put quotes in the database). Although I would recommend neither of these methods -- instead I would recommend passing a unique identifier for the database record on the url, i.e. <a href="page2.cfm?recordID=#myquery.recordID#">Click Here</a> and then using that unique identifier to retreive the information from the database on the second page. s. isaac dealey 954.927.5117 new epoch : isn't it time for a change? add features without fixtures with the onTap open source framework http://macromedia.breezecentral.com/p49777853/ http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=44477&DE=1 http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=45569&DE=1 http://www.fusiontap.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
