I guess I don't understand your response. My validation page is a separate CFInclude, so when someone click submit on the form page, they are sent to the form summary page. At the top of the summary page is an include to update the Session structure, then an include to do the validation. If all validation passes, then the remainder of the summary is displayed, if not, the end user is sent back to the form to make corrections.
