Les,
Another way to do this is to simply use multiple forms on the same page, each having a
different processing file in the respective form's action attribute. In this way,
only the form's values that you are submitting will be sent to the action page. Of
course, this is only a good thing if you want to keep only specific data from your
form page.
For example:
<form name="Form1" action="action1.cfm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Form1DataField" value="something">
<input type="submit" value="Form1Submit">
</form>
<form name="Form2" action="action2.cfm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Form2DataField" value="something">
<input type="submit" value="Form2Submit">
</form>
<form name="Form3" action="action3.cfm" method="post">
<input type="text" name="Form3DataField" value="something">
<input type="submit" value="Form3Submit">
</form>
Also, be sure not to accidentally nest your forms if you use more than 1 on a page.
