I understand what you are saying but the Question I was answering was...
-------------------------------------------------------------------
| Hi Mike, one more question concerning the form and the check boxes. Is
there
| a way to have only the item with the box checked to be sent to the email
| address?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is why I thought my answer applied...
Have a nice day
Bob
| If you have a form with lots of different fields, just seen the values is
of no help, as you will
| not know which answers apply to which questions.
|
| Example:
|
| Home Phone
| Office Phone
| Cell Phone
|
| Site visitor fills in a phone number, but which number have they provided?
|
| Home Address (Street, City, State, Zip)
| Business Address (Street, City, State, Zip)
|
| Site visitor fills in an address, but which address have they provided?
