Matthieu
I guess I wasn't too clear with my question. I needed my returnURL to
include a whole bunch of different url parameters. But I am never sure
exactly which url parameters will be present and which will not. It may
vary, depending on the page that directed the user to first log-in before
they could do something on that page. The best method I found was using the
CGI.Query_String variable.
Thanks for the help though,
Greg
