Something like:
<Cfoutput>
http://www.someserver.com/somepage.cfm?ID=#URLEncodedFormat(Encrypt(Your
RecordID,SomePassword))#
</cfoutput>
Then on the receiving page, do:
<cftry>
<cfset ID = Decrypt(ID,SomePassword)>
<cfcatch type="any"><cfoutput>Somebody messed with the encrypted
text.</cfcatch>
</cftry>
The encryption w/ CF's Encrypt function isn't terribly strong, but it'll
at least keep your slightly above average user from messing with your
parameters in the URL.
