Hiya, another question. I've tested my new form for a week and more and everything was ok till friday. I'm using the xsl template to send the form via email and i've noticed that for one particular field, the value wasn't changed whatever my choice. This field is a dropdownlist from a DNN Country list (France). I hope i'm clear enough. Have you seen this problem before? Thanks

Hi Steve, last year before I posted this message and I still have no answer. The problem is the same on another form : In settings, I define the "Send to Action" as "Use value form" which is a dropdownlist field (text : name of the district / value : email for each district.). When testing the form, whaterver item I choose in the list, the same item appear in the email. I send you the form I exported. Could you please, give me a clue? Thank you.

This is a limitation of the HTTP specification. For Example a user selects Languedoc Roussillon from the DropDown. When the form is posted the browser sends presidence.aquitaine@.... to the server as a value associated with that form field name. When ASP.NET looks up the list item in the DropDown list it looks for the value presidence.aquitaine@..... finding it in the second ListItem in the Control and returns Aquitaine as the text associated with that field. There is nothing that can be done to overcome this limitation which I know of outside of creating an alias on the mail server for each region which I have done before for clients.

Hi Steve, thank you, I've noticed this while testing. I will manage by putting different email addresses. It's fine. Thanks a lot for the answer. Would you have a response for my other post? kd
