JJ,
It looks to me like all we're really looking at is a difference in
variable scoping. Your List thread refers to "RE: Session Variables"
but we're actually talking about form variables. The scope for a form
variable is persistent only from page1 to page2 but can't be passed to
page3 unless it's values are reassigned to new form variables on page2
and then passed to page3 or the form variables from page1 are assigned
to session variables on page2. If you only need them for page3 then use
the FORM scope and when you leave page3 your variables disappear:
<! === <PAGE1> --- >
<form name="formA" action="PAGE2.cfm" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="FirstName"> - First Name<br>
<input type="text" name="LastName"> - Last Name <br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="Person_id" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="School_id" value="100">
</form>
<! === <PAGE2> Reassign and display the variables--- >
<form name="formB" action="PAGE3.cfm" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="FirstName" value="#FORM.FirstName#">
#FORM.FirstName#<br>
<input type="hidden" name="LastName" value="#FORM.LastName#">
#FORM.LastName#<br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="Person_id" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="School_id" value="100">
</form>
<! === <PAGE3> Use the FORM variables --- >
First Name: #FORM.FirstName#<br>
Last Name: #FORM.LastName#<br>
Person ID: #FORM.Person_id#<br>
School_ID: #FORM.School_id#
</form>
If you use the session scope on page2:
<cfset session.variableName = #Form.VariableName#>
it will be persistent until either the value is changed/reassigned or
until the session timeout period has expired (normal default is about
20-minutes) and you can use the variable #session.variableName# on any
page during the "SESSION" scope.

Simply Change the FormA scope variables to the form scope in Page_B.cfm.
THere is no scope named formA...No matter how hard you might try!

Ok,
But I�m currently doing in that way... and it does not work...
PAGE_A.cfm
-------------------------------------------------------
<form name="formA" action="PAGE_B.cfm" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="FirsName"> - First Name<br>
<input type="text" name="LastName"> - Last Name <br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<input type="hidden" name="Person_id" value="10">
<input type="hidden" name="School_id" value="100">
</form>
-------------------------------------------------------
PAGE_B.cfm
<form name="formB" action="PAGE_C.cfm" method="POST">
#formA.FirstName# - First Name<br>
#formA.LastName# - Last Name <br>
#formA.Person_id# - Last Name <br>
#formA.School_id# - Last Name <br>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
