Can I pass a recordset through a form??

How would I?
 
The easiest way I see is to use the GetString method of the recordset object which string you add to a hidden form component. But be warned that your information will be visible by the user in clear text and that it risks to inflate your page!
(
Then depending on your needs, you rebuild it to a table or a recordset by parsing the string(there's probably a better way to get the object back in shape).

But just a question, why don't you just store it to a session object or save it to HD? By the way, talking about saving, maybe you could save it as XML, get the information as a string and then rebuild as a recordset on the other side (just like WDDX)
 
Thanks BKQ, some intresting points.. (I have not done a lot of this because I simply did not know I could..)

Thank you.
