I know this is going to be an easy fix! But I cant seem to get it. I have designed a site that submits 4 form results to 4 different flat text data bases all 4 forms are one complete application. My issue is in order to link the customer to each of the four flat text data bases I need a common value. We have choosen homephone as the field to carry. Sounds simple but I am using Bformmail as the cgi script and it writes to the flat text data base great but I cant seem to carry the homephone field to the next 3 pages using java cookies and I cant figure out how to add it in the bformmail script. I hope this sounds easy to understand and thank you for your help...Mike

you need to post the code otherwise people can only guess at what the problem is. when you say you can't get the homephone in the next 3 pages do you mean that there are 3 different pages with 3 different forms on that submit to 3 different databases, or that the information is carried on to each successive page then submitted, or there is one form but you want to replicate homephone across 3 databases?

I have 3 forms each holding different fields as a customer complets a page and hits send it writes to a flat text data base then it forwards to the next part of the application page 2 same thing happens when the button is pressed as in the first. one a single user completes the three page forms they will have written to three different data bases holding only the information from the page it was sent from. So I have three different data bases all will have parts of an application from a singlw user. I need to be able to merge all the data from all the data bases. So the idea I have is to carry a fiald that identifies the user. I have choosen to use the homephone. I hope this makes sence.

Hi, could you build a link in you perl script's to pass info somewhat like this example & skip cookies?
http://www.ultimatepcmedic.com/simplecredit/simple2.html?homephone=whatever & then pass homephone to second perl script in a form post etc.
You would probably need some custom perl script. Probably a no brainer.
