OK, I got the May 21 build and got it set up and used the same test that I created in the release build. The form does have the NAMEID as a blank value that gets filled in after the first POST. What happens now is that after JMeter runs through and does that first POST, it stops and I never see any results with it trying to do the second POST. It seems that it stops in the Link Parser or such. Is this a bug in the nightly build?

The most common reason people don't get the results they expect is that the page containing the form with the hidden value doesn't quite match up with their next request. JMeter tries to match all your arguments, and the path, and the domain, to a form on the previous page (not just your argument with a value of '.*'). Also, in the release, there's a bug that will break this if your form contains input text fields that are blank, but your request fills in values. This has been fixed in the nightly tarballs. -Mike On 20 May 2002 at 14:28, Tim Wilkinson wrote: > Hi, > > I am a new user to JMeter.
