Hi Jorge,

I don't think you want to be distracted by discussions about caching! Go with your first instinct of saving to the database. That's what it's there for 😉

The 2083 IE limit problem only affects URLs, so if your forms use the "post" method instead of "get" you can save as much data as you like.

Hi Michael,

Indeed, I am already using the data base 😊

Thanks to you and Dave for the help!

Good advice. One problem of passing variable from page to page is that you have to reverify them, if that is important to you, but you still have to process them on every page. If you setup a storage method, then you can also use it to pass information that users shouldn't be allowed to set. Overall, it should be easier to manage the page flow if you only have to deal with the new information.
