Hi avanswer,

You have called the e-mail field 'email' but in the Form Manager tab you have 'emailfield'. Try changing that over and see if you get the e-mails then.

PS I'm not completely sure how ChronoForms behaves when you have entries in both 'Email Adress(es)' and 'Email fields'

Hi,

Errors :

#1 - Email field contains "emailfield" which isn't an existing field name!!
#2 - From email field contains "name" which is supposed to post a "name" and not a "valid email", this is another problem!!

Cheers
