I've created a form that works fine and sends the e:mail to my outlook address.

Problem is that there is nothing in the "FROM" column in outlook when I receive the from.

Below is code used, I've got an idea that there is something in here that is the problem - or something missing:

<!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
U-File="forms/Christmas Party/Christmas Party.txt" S-Format="HTML/BR"
S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
S-Email-Address="xxx@xxx" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
B-Email-ReplyTo-From-Field="TRUE"
S-Email-ReplyTo="From : xxx@xxx"
B-Email-Subject-From-Field="TRUE" S-Email-Subject="Christmas Party form"
S-Builtin-Fields
S-Form-Fields="Confirmed_Adults Confirmed_Kids Tentative_Adults Tentative_Kids Special_Needs Dte Fullname Phone Department email "
U-Confirmation-Url="Forms/Submit_Complete_form.htm" -->
 
Hi jnrdavo,

It would be best to provide a URL for the form page or the full form HTML.

In general, the from address is dictated by the server. Since the form is submitted on the site, it is sent by the site itself, not the form user.

What you can do is set up the Reply to: address so you can respond to the form user(assuming they gave a legitimate email). More here...
Hope I have been of some help,
Micheal
