 From document to document you have to pass your form variables, since the 
Web is stateless, or you use some Session Product. This behavior has 
nothing to do with Zope. It is all HTTP. Just create a hidden input field 
called "row_items" in form2. In case row_items is a list, you can do the 
following in your form2 document:

<dtml-in row_items>
<input type="hidden" name="row_items:list" value="<dtml-var sequence-item>">
</dtml-in>

That will insure that row_items is passed to the last form. BTW, that 
method works well, I use it all the time. I guess I should look into 
sessions one day.

Stephan
