You don't want a / before the & in the parameter list You use a ? between the static portion of the URL and the parameter list and an & between each parameter.
The reason you get the search mode without any parameters is that the default mode of the form is search.

In IE I keep getting back to the login window. If I just do https://remedy.jmu.edu/arsys/forms/rem2/GN%3AExchangeAcctAction, it opens the form in Search mode.

I have tried various combinations of: https://[web server]/arsys/forms/[ARS server]/[FormName]/&F540003300=abcdefg/&mode=Submit Sometimes the field value gets filled in and sometimes it doesn't, but the mode is always Search. What am I doing wrong?
