url length prob

[Katie]

Hi,

I have a webpage with a form and i am saving the webpage using name
value pairs. So i can give the users a link which they can click on and
the form will open up prepopulated.

The problem i am having is that these forms can get exteremely long
(hence the prepopulation facility)
e.g test.asp?name=value?name1=value1?name2=value2

is there any way to increase the url in a browser or if you know of any
other way i can accomplish this id appreciate ure feedback

more detail regarding the above: I am allowing useers to save their
forms with the data, also save multiple versions of the form (same form
with diff data)

Thanks

Use a database ... that's what they are for.
When the user fills in the form, save the data to a database record with
an ID. Use the ID in your hyperlink.
