Hey govinda, Not sure why [interpret][/interpret] tags are not working.. maybe something to do with variable scoping.. Are these formvalues? Below works with listvariables.. so I'm guessing it will work with formvariables: --- [text multi=T]UserID=someuser&EMailAddress=test@test.com[/text] [arrayset name=ReqdFormVars&dim=12](1)=UserID&(2)=EnterPassword&(3)=ReEnterPassword&(4)=FirstName&(5)=LastName&(6)=Address[!] [/!]&(7)=City&(8)=State&(9)=PostalCodeZip&(10)=Country&(11)=PhoneNumber&(12)=EMailAddress[/arrayset] [ArrayGet name=ReqdFormVars] Num Dims: [numdims]
