Be very wary of using forward(), see my blog entry regarding a BIG change in behavior between CFMX6.1 and CFMX7 (then blackstone when tested) in how forward() is implemented. It appears that CFMX7 actually fixed a 6.1 bug in forward(), but since the behavior is so different in 6.1 -- you may a hard time migrating an application you wrote on 6.1 to 7 or vice-versa.Ben, it seems what you're looking for is the equivalent of a server transfer in CFML. That is enabled in CFMX by way of getpagecontext().forward("yourtemplate.cfm"). Yes, it's an odd looking beast. The getpagecontext() function returns an object with several methods, one of which is a forward, which does the server side transfer you seek. I wrote about this in a June 2002 CFDJ article, back when it came out in CFMX 6.0:New Possibility in CFMX: Server-Side Redirects http://www.sys-con.com/story/?storyid=41768&DE=1
