Question

Getting data to remain on the Insert page after submit

I am converting a mainframe application to ColdFusion 7. After the user enters data, the data remains on the page after they submit it. I thought Preservedata="yes" would work if I included it with my form. However, this only works if the form submits to itself and I am submitting the data to an Access database. Someone suggested session variables and I was going to try that next, except the users prefer not to accept cookies. Thanks.

Cookies will work better than anything. If the users don't want to use them, consider it a self inflicted injury.

Thanks so much for replying! It was great to return to work and see a possible solution.

Do you think that Client Variables would work better than Cookies (Macromedia MX7 Web Application Construction Kit by Ben Forta, page 580)? I have ColdFusion server on my PC (it was ColdFusion 8, by the way, not 7).
