Hi gilesk,

What code have you used and what result do you get?

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Hi Bob

I was able to finally get the drop down to be part of the subject
For some reason, just having a single word in the field name didn’t work i.e. job
When changed to “job_title” it worked perfectly

I do have another question
How do I get the “Database View” to work?

Hi Kel,

In the Forms Manager select the table you want to view in the drop-down in the Connected Tables column. Click a record id to view a record.

This will work if the record id is 'id', if not you can add a list of column names and titles in the DB Viewer box e.g.
cf_id=ID
title=Title
content=Content
. . .
