Pretty simple...just replace the inner pound signs with the form field
name...

http://63.77.222.52/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/57/49?user_id=#form.patronID#

...or whatever the field name is.  Also make sure the anchor tag is
w/in <CFOUTPUT>:
<CFOUTPUT>
<A
href="http://63.77.222.52/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/57/49?user_id=#form.patronID#">
</CFOUTPUT>
 
BTW, did you know you can automatically forward users to such a URL
using <CFLOCATION> so that users don't need to wait for this page to
load and then click on the link?
<CFOUTPUT>
<CFLOCATION
url="http://63.77.222.52/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/57/49?user_id=#form.patronID#">
</CFOUTPUT>

I am trying to develop a html form that will generate a URL so that my
patron can be logged into our OPAC. I want the form the create a URL
that looks like this:

http://63.77.222.52/uhtbin/cgisirsi/x/0/57/49?user_id=##### 

Where the ##### is the number that the patron has inputted into the
form. 

Thanks, 
Ed
