NOTES

• Variables that are converted will retain the same names as the variables they were converted from.
• Form variables are output as hidden form fields within the document.
• VarConvert is useful in passing hidden fields from one form to another by using form as both the to and from value.
• Url variables are output in a single url query string named #urlstring#: (param1=value1¶m2=value2). This string should be appended to a hypertext reference in the format of:

  document.cfm?#urlstring#

  Additional parameters can be added after the urlstring by adding '&'.
