Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I think I see where you're going with this. I just want to clarify something.

The form that is being sumbitted is an HTML form. One of the fields is name. From articles I read about HTML and hidden fields, when I type the following line: 
<input type="hidden" name="member" value="hard coded value">

[download]

The "value" parameter in the articles are setting a hard coded value to each name="member". In this case, the value for name or member is going to be different for every person who completes the form.

How do I write my hidden field in the form so it doesn't pass hard coded values instead it will pass the actual info entered by the person completing the form? I guess what I'm asking is how do I set a value for "member" that is global? I think?.

Thanks.
