I have 2 pages that I'm struggling with on my site.

I need to be able to let a customer pick/select/add a number of bits of information before they can pay for their product.

I'm trying to do this by having 2 pages.

Page 1 has a form to collect all this prerequisite information.  

Page 2 is the ecommerce part that allows the user to pick the product and then pay.

I've managed to get the form to look right but now I want to pass the OrderID (AutoNumber field) collected on form 1 to the page 2.

The end result I'm hoping for:

I want to get Form 1 emailed out to me with the OrderID.

Once the customer has selected a product and made payment, I want an email (or report) sent or made available to me that will show the order ID, the product selected by customer and if payment was successful.

2 questions:

1. Am I going about this the wrong way?

2. How do I pass the orderID from one page to the next and not overlap transactions?

Thanks in advance.

:)
