Ah, thanks for the reply.

I tried this, but the missing piece for me was -

Don't try to read from the http_post_vars array. The value is passed DIRECTLY in the variable(s) you reserve in the outside variables link.

So, where my code was:

$somevar = $HTTP_POST_VARS['formSetNo']

if had to become

$somevar = $formSetNo;

So, my path was:

1. a.php - Select from a menu and post the selection as 'formSetNo' (normal form menu code).
2. b.php - set 'outside variables' to formSetNo in the control panel AND read from $formSetNo in the script
3. c.php - now here is the trick! There are about 200 variables that get created by b.php and posted to c.php (arrays of arrays). That is probably going to HAVE to be an outside form!!
