Set the action of the form to the same page, then when you want to submit to
a different page, change the action. As someone has said, formName.action is
the attriubute you want to change.
<form name="theForm" action="form.cfm" method="post">
<select name="theSelect" onchange="document.theForm.submit();">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
</select>
<input type="button" value="Search"
onClick="document.theForm.action='anotherpage.cfm';
document.theForm.submit();">
</form>
This seems to work unless I'm missing something.

Hello again all.
Duncan. I have just tried that Javascript thingy you posted but it still
posts back to the original form ... :(
Sorry to be a pain about this but I javascript really leaves me cold with
its this.that.theother stuff and I really appreciate the help.
The form should do this ...
User selects a menu type (form post back to itself)
User selects a relative Phase (form post back to itself)
User selects a relative Group
User clicks the Search button
Form variables now passed to modrep_results.cfm
This is what I have ...
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing=4 cellpadding=6>
<form name="DropDown" method="post">
<cfquery name="get_Menu" datasource="webuserDSN">
SELECT menu_id, menu_name

the report to modify is under.</b><br>

This is the menu from the default screen on the
performance website.
