Q: When I am testing the form, I recieve the 2 emails. There seems to be some inconsistencies with the email that imports the info into Goldmine. Sometimes, although the data comes through on the html email (so I know it's being inputted correctly), it does not show up in Goldmine. Any suggestions?

A: Check to make sure the web import email is not being blocked/filtered or it could be an import issue with GoldMine ie settings within GoldMine regarding duplicate records or similar pre import tests.

Q: I am building a multipage form and I am using user data to determine values on subsequent pages. For example, if a user checks a check box, a dollar amount will be calculated on the next page. It works fine, however, if the user goes back and un-checks the box, the form continues to carry over the value of a checked box.

A: To maintain the data in a checkbox use <input type="checkbox" name="FIELDNAME"<?php $name='FIELDNAME';if(isset($_SESSION['Form1'][$name])){echo 'checked="checked"';} ?> / but replace FIELDNAME with the actual field name ie "agree" or whatever you call the checkbox. See the Checkbox section of the Help file for details https://bizpep.com/form1/
