Response.Redirect with Form collection maintained to a second page

[Beren1h]

I am trying to create a form that when submited directs the user to one of five other forms based on their input.

What I doing on the user input form

<FORM method=post action=redirect.asp>

then on redirect.asp they are sent to another page with the Response.Redirect method

The problem I am having is that this last page the Form collection from the original input form is gone and I still need that information.

How do I get the user input information from the first page, past the second page, and on to the thrid page?

(Or is there a better approach?)

Thanks...

How about creating session variables for each form entry
i.e.
session(&quot;first&quot = request.form(&quot;first&quot
session(&quot;last&quot = request.form(&quot;last&quot
session(&quot;address&quot = request.form(&quot;address&quot
session(&quot;city&quot = request.form(&quot;city&quot
session(&quot;state&quot = request.form(&quot;state&quot
session(&quot;zip&quot = request.form(&quot;zip&quot

then simply calling the session's when you need them. Double check the way session are create tho, I'm not 100% sure.

If you're using ASP 3.0, use Server.transfer instead of response.redirect. Server.Transfer retains all of the form data...

ex:
response.redirect &quot;abc.asp&quot;
is now:
server.transfer &quot;abc.asp&quot; leo

Leo,
That was my first thought, but our server runs IIS 4.0 which I think means we have ASP 2.0 (I couldn't get the transfer method working anyhow...)

CDN,
I don't know much about the session/application variables, but doesn't an application's global.asa file need to reside in a virtual directory defined by the server? Or rather the people who maintain our server would have to define which directory our global.asa file would go in?
