Using field ID to set field

I have a VF page where the user selects an item and when they click it, I call another page. I want to pass a value to the 2nd page.  I set the Id of the field on the second page to the value of what hey selcted.  It works great.  But, now I want to promote it to the dev org and the Id of the field will be different.  I tried setting the name of the field but that didn't work. How do I develop in the Sandbox and then promote the code without having to change the Ids?

 

Also, the field I am passing to is a Lookup.  I would like to pass the Id rather than the name of the item in the lookup but it only works when I pass the name.  Is there a different field I should pass the Id to?

 

Thanks....

Hey

 

Could you post some of your code please? Just so we can have a look at the method you're employing.

 

Cheers,

Wes

Sure.  I am trying to duplicate enhanced lookup since it is not available to a portal user.  So I give them three picklists and when they click search I present the list with the ability to click on the one they want which passes that value to a standard pag(not VF). CF00N40000001yA32 is the lookup field that will only take the value not the Id.
