Ya I tried that but no luck. Actually exporting is more messed up than I originally thought. It's skipping fields and not even exporting them at all. I upgraded to your latest version and still same issue. hmmm

Here are screenshots from my form in its entirety, and my xls which I exported too. You will see the problem. All fields are filled out, but the exported results are skipping some fields even, and the results. So weird

Also, on another note since I'm testing out this new version. I've gotten a few DB errors while searching, but my main concern is searching won't take half of what you type in.

For example..lets say I had a name single line field. I inputed a first and last name into the form. I went to form results table, and above that row I inputed the name Carol. It won't pull up the record. Now if I put in the name Carol Smith...it pulls it up fine. So you have to be exact in what you type else your results are nothing. Just some food for thought. Nice work!

Are all your 'Reference Name's for the form questions unique?

Fixed db errors in v4.2.5 (anyone running v4.2.4 should upgrade immediately - just import new product file in admincp)

I'm afraid that there is very very unlikely to be a work around to allow searching for within the fields for Carol rather than carol smith.

I dont have any reference names for my questions. I had no idea what it was for...so left them all blank?

The reference names are optional.

I think the issue might be to do with having several questions with the same name.

It does and I just thought of that before u posted. I tried changing current status to current status1, 2 and 3, and now it exports fine.

Sucks that I have to do that, but whatever I guess... least we know the issue

Found another bug...sorry!

So I had that form all created as you see above in screenshot. I then decided to remove 3 questions entirely and delete them. I had two results(forms) already posted though.

I'm trying to remove those two answers (forms) that someone submitted, and I get this:
vBulletin Message
Error, this form does not exist.

I'm assuming its because it's trying to delete those answers with those original questions tied to them, but I deleted them.

If I hover over the delete link:
#
TPA's - jbilliau (Edit | Delete)

Name
Will Have Done by
Ticket #1

I don't even see ID or FID = a number at all....its just = nothing

How can I get a question type like "custom"? For example, the question is what is your favorite song? The answer would be address of the mp3 file. But in the results the answer would be "built in" to the player html code. (same functionality as BB code).
In the other words, can I create a custom bb code and format the answer with it?
