I'd try to avoid that if at all possible, spoofing hidden fields is a known
hack and I was at DevDays ASP.NET Security discussion and they were
recommended against using Hidden fields for input. I think Session State
should get you what you need and session variables are really easy to use.
Are you familiar with them? If not, I'd really suggest checking them out.

Cheers,

Bill
