1. are you declaring the form parameter first (especially important with checkboxes and radio buttons, which don't get sent unless something is selected). i'm guessing this will fix it. if not, proceed to 2.
2. output the list of Form.fieldnames to see exactly what fields have been passed in - is mailtype in this list? if not, check your spelling etc. 3. still kaput? change 'Global' to something else. it sounds like a reserved word, and even though the way you're using it is completely safe, stranger things have been known to happen. also, don't forget to lock your session variables, if you're not already doing so.

Error resolving parameter FORM.MAILTYPE The specified form field cannot be found. This problem is very likely due to the fact that you have misspelled the form field name. The error occurred while processing an element with a general identifier of (CFIF), occupying document position (37:1) to (37:32) in the template file email_type_select.cfm. Referrer: choose_message_type.cfm The referrer would suggest that the user certainly went from the form to the action page, so I fail to understand how the form field can not be defined? This app has been working for a long time and no code changes have been made.
