and another question:

When i do receive the unformatted emailed form, this is what it looks like:

*VACATION REQUEST*
*Property: (Check One)*
* XXX

*Date of Request: (Todays Date)* 3\6\2010 *Employee # * XXXXXXXXX *Job Title:* XXXXXX
*Status: (Please Select One)*
* 10-Hour

*Shift:* Day
*Normal Days Off:*
* Mon/Tue

*# of Days Requested:* 1
*Date Start (First Day)* 3\7\2010 *Date Back to Work:* 3\8\2010
*Remarks:* Testing.... testing
*Your Name:* XXX XXXX

Any way to make it at least look like a listed/bullet pointed form????

Thanks

Hey,

Im having a bit trouble with the "Manage Attachment" Button on the form. The user can fill in the form and a thread will be posted in an internal section of our forum so that user cant read the outcome / the thread. If a user wants to attach something he will get the "No permission" message telling him that he doesnt have permission to attach something. Is there any way around this?

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I can't get this to post to a forum in a moderated status based on the forum settings.

I was able to block out a couple lines of code that force the post to set the thread to 'visible=0' but it doesn't seem to work soley based off the moderation setting inside the forum.

Can you recommend a way to have a single line with 5 inputs? I am trying to migrate an excel spreadsheet into a form. I have a screen shot of what I am trying to imitate.

One small bug with output using all the defaults. If you put a category in the question for the question following the category header shows up on the same line. See attached

Hey mate,

Awesome work.

Slight problem, I made one form to submit to one area and essentially tried to duplicate the form to then post it in a seperate area for those who wished. (Its for a Guild and giving an option for Private and Public Applications).

I tried to just create a copy of the original form however I received an error although a duplicate was made up fine. I ignored the error and then went to try and complete the form as a test and received this error;

Form failed to submit. The following error(s) occured:
Please complete both the subject and message fields.

I figured this was just because of the error I had earlier so i tried to export the original form and then import it again and hope for that to be successfull however when submitting the form I received that same error.

I've tried googling the error and had no luck so was helping you might be able to shed some light on this for me.

I'll add this too, I have zero problems submitting forms with the original form, its just the duplicates I'm having an issue with.

Works like a charm! Thank you so much!

I am having the same issue. It's not so much when I duplicate but when I try to add a second form I get the error. 1st works fine, second gives that same message

Update the (q_*) tags to coincide with duplicate forms.
If the original form had q_1 to pull up a field...on the duplicate form q_1 could now be q_15

This will result in the error "Please complete message and subject fields"
You will have to update each individual form that you copy or import.
