Accessing Form Data

Hi, I'm very new to the Kentico environment and have a quick question. I would like to be able to use the form data from a previously submitted form and 'pre fill in' data on the next form. So the chain of events would look like the following:

Form1 has name and email -> users submits form1 -> user is redirected to form2 -> form2 has name and email already filled from Form1.

Is this possible and if so, what is the best way to achieve this?

Tyler

RE:Accessing Form Data

Hi again,

I just wanted to follow this up with that I have gotten it figured out. I used the QueryString macro feature. On form1 in the redirecting URL I attached the parameters that I wanted to forward off like so:

~/MyBaseURL/Form2?name={%formfieldname%}&email={%formfieldemail%}

Then in the second form I was able to set default values for the respective fields the very same way:

{%email%}

I hope that this helps others that are in my same situation.

Thank You,
Tyler
