Aaron,

	Usually, the way that I do that is to save CALLERIDNUM in a variable 
someplace when a call first comes in.  Then later on, if you need to 
forward the call, you can set the CALLERID to your custom variable (I 
use KKFROMCID) to always set the original callerid.  Works quite well in 
macros.
