I agree with Troy.
I've found that they either POST a form or send an URL. Either way, you get name/value
pairs. You can test for a particular value. ('approved=yes' --> IF approved = "yes",
do this, ELSE, do that, ENDIF).
You can get all the name/value pairs with <@ARG>. Just make sure you know what the
names are (case is important!), & hopefully they pass back the "key" for that
person/order.
INSERT INTO orders (approved, name, address, ...) VALUES ('<@ARG ApprovalCode>','<@ARG
NAME>','<@ARG ADDR1>','<@ARG ...>)
I usually test for the "approved" before I update the database.
