Opening page from email link doesn't populate form with data

Question

On performing some action(approve/reject a request) an email is generated with a link in it. On clicking the link a SharePoint QA page opens that contains a form. All that works well! My issue is that form is not populated with data that were entered during form submission. How do I populate that form with data? I am also using QueryString and the following is the URL: https ://abc.xyz.com/sites/def/Pages/tests.aspx?uID=56 (just to show the QueryString) The entire thing works well when I move from one page to another! Data is not being populated only when I open my page from the EMAIL I just get a blank form. I am sorry that I cannot post the code here since it is too huge and there are series of methods that use each other. Hoping I get some help.. Thank you :)

Hi Did you debug your code by placing a breakpoint at code behind of tests.aspx and check step by step what's happening? based on your statements my guess is that you are using some session variables in your code behind which are set correctly when you navigate from one form to another but those are not set correctly when you click link from email. you have to write code of https ://abc.xyz.com/sites/def/Pages/tests.aspx?uID=56 in such a way that it can be executed independently i.e. the URL has all the values needed to run the code.
