Using cfform structures in MX7 to pass details from 1 page to the next amending
and adding details from page to page.

So that on the second page the code is:-

<cfform name="Flight_Refine" id="Flight_Refine" method="post"
action="test_XML_Response_4.cfm">
<input type="hidden" name="Res_Type" value="#Res_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Dep_Type" value="#Dep_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Des_Type" value="#Des_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Len_Type" value="#Len_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Ad_Num" value="#Ad_Num#" />

Then passing the variables to test_XML_Response_4.cfm" in a repeat mechanism
where the code is:-

 <cfform name="Data_Transfer"  id="Data_Transfer" method="post"
action="test_XML_Response_5.cfm?Ch_Passed_No=#Ch_Pass_No#&In_Passed_No=#In_Pass_
No#&RDL=#RDL#">
<input type="hidden" name="Res_Type" value="#Res_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Dep_Type" value="#Dep_Type#" />
<input type="hidden" name="Des_Type" value="#Des_Type#" />

Although the variables are all there, when they are passed to
test_XML_Response_5.cfm in the same way that they were passed to
test_XML_Response_4.cfm, if I attempt to view the variables in
test_XML_Response_5.cfm all I see is #variable# rather than the contents of the
variable, which can only be passed as *.cfm?variable=#variable#& etc.

Any ideas as to why this is happening.

Thanks.
