Hi Barry,
I use a similar method to what Kevan has suggested.
On the original form page I have a hidden form element which stores a
list of all the form names which I want to look over on the "action"
page. It works a treat. All you have to do is as you're building the
original form page you dynamically create a string which you keep
appending all the form field names to. Then you just shove this string
into your hidden field. This means that on the "action" page you just
loop through the list stored in the hidden field. You obviously have
to write validation code in case you are dealing with checkboxes
(because checkboxes wont be Defined if un-checked). The brilliance of
this solution is that when you loop through that hidden field list you
can be confident that you created all those fields on the previous
page, where as with your current solution you are looping
unnecessarily and doing a lot of guess work.
Buy the way; to use this solution you'll need to familiarise yourself
with the Evaluate() and DE functions for usage on the "action" page to
test and extract the values from these dynamically named field names
e.g. Evaluate("form.hdnPersPBA_"&X).
Hope this helps!
Cheers
