Setting up first form. Please HELP!

ryan.tam 17 Sep, 2008
Hi there,
First, I have to say that the creator of ChronoForm has made an excellent product, and the fact that I cannot get it to work simply mean that I am just being a little dense. I have just installed ChronoForm 3.0 (last version) and tried to create my very first form. I used the wizard and created my text fields (name, email, subject, and message) and added a submit button. I then clicked over to the next tab to choose the email settings. I created a container and added an "To address", in which I put in my own email. I also added a "dynamic From Name" and a "dynamic From Email" which I picked from the respective field references from the form. Now the problem is that under the email properties tab (under the Toolbox tab) there are 3 choices: Email format, Record IP, and Enable. The problem I am having is the Enable option is set to "No" and is grayed out and not selectable. As I understand it, it would not work unless I can overcome this issue. Please advise.

Hi ryan,

you need a subject or dynamic subject fields in the email container and only then the box will be green and you can enable the email, for full tutorial on this, please check our downloads area > tutorials!
