I have a table/grid of customers and super users can select one customer and that will be the default customer used on subsequent pages.

Have put the customerId into a session variable via a button submit on repeating rows and retrieved by Querystring.Request(..).

Is it possible to store the selected customer Id to session variable without submitting the form?
 
rhinoman, lemme see if I understand you correctly: If someone selects the name, lets say, JANE then you want that name, JANE, passed along on along all sunsequent pages?? From what I understand the session varaible will last as long as the user is signed in, providing that you have a username/password setup...
What I did for may job, was pass the session varaible on all reated pages while the user was logged in, once they logged out the session expired...
Wouldn't it be easier if instead of using a session varaible you used cookie?? Might be easier to code and debug...
Anyways, try posting this in the COLDFUSION FORUM here...those guys (and gals) are super-smart, they've helped me countless times... I have not failed; I have merely found 100,000 different ways of not succeding...
