Passing a parameter from one server to another

[BrizUK]

We have a website running across two servers with most of the site on one and FMPro 5.5 with search and results pages on another.

Has anyone any idea if it is possible to pass a parameter from the main server to the FMPro server such that the parameter can become a token used by an existing search page.

The search pages would use the token as a hidden value while other search parameters are provided by the user from drop down lists.

We have tried lots of different approaches along the lines of <a href=theserver/FMpro?-DB=database.fp5&token=X&format=searchpage.html> to try and provide the necessary token for the search page as well as calling it to be completed by the user but have failed utterly!

Build a 1 record database...with enough fields to store all your parameters. Some files write to this, some read from it.

Thanks for the response. Haven't yet tried to set it up as am trying tor resolve an issue with container fields and images which has become a higher priority!
