Q: I have created a form with your software and am now testing it out. I have required fields in the form. When one or more of the required fields is left out, the message is received that required fields are missing and there is a button to return to the form. There is a problem (as I see it) because the information previously entered into the form is blank when you return to the form. Surely your software is not designed this way. What am I doing wrong in the creation of the form through form1builder?

A: As outlined in the Help file you set code in the fields so data is not lost. Full details are in the Maintaining Form Content section (4) of the Help file. If you read and follow the Help file you are doing nothing wrong.

Q: When a radio button or checkbox has been selected by the user of the form, it sends a response of "on" to the form receiver. "On" seems to be more of a programming term (on/off, true/false), than something that is user friendly. Is it possible to change it to return "yes", which I believe the receiver of the form (usually a non-technical person) would understand better?

A: The actual term set is determined by the browser. It is not set by Form1. If the browser sets the value to "on" when selected then this is what is displayed. This value can vary between browsers.

Q: I have been trying to test the form I generated on this site. It sends the email but I do not get any variables.

A: From your code I can see the you have Deliver First Letter Upper Case Fields Only set (ie $firstupper = "true";) but all your form fields are lower case so they will never be sent. So you either need to change the Deliver First Letter Upper Case Fields setting or change your form field names to start with an upper case letter (I would suggest you actually give them descriptive names). See the Deliver First Letter Upper Case Fields section of the Help file for details.
