Michelle...

Here's one way I tackled that problem:
(If the SSL service has access to the same Database as the unsecured site)

- Store the info into a "temp" table and generate a unique id.
- Put the Unique ID into the query string and send the browser the link you 
wan them to go to: e.g. https://www.foobar.org/program.cgi?ID=123-123-123-123
- Then on the SSL side, take the ID number and lookup the info in the database.
- Collect your SSL info and save what you want into your permanent tables, 
delete from the temp table.

Hope that helps, or at least does not hurt.
