hi jerry
the data is in a session, and it retains itself during the first form post.
however I cannot get it to remain when the second form posts, even though
the sessions are still true and the textbox and radiobuttons values are are
still set to the session. I think it has to do with the second form somehow.
it seems that it is influencing the textbox and radiobutton's values. but i
cant work out why
