Hi swant,

aha

the {date-1} stuff is not staying saved. I renamed the fields in the wizard. For some reason the {} stuff in my template is changed to ex: should be {orname} changed back to incorrect {text_1}. I had manually changed these to the correct one. Is there any reason that they would revert to the incorrect field names. Is there a different way of saving things?
