Preventing User Amendment of some fields

    Hi,

    I have a list of products which users can select from. I am trying to create a form to act as an order form. The user selects a product and the product parameters are passed to the form where the user adds his contact details.

    I’ve got the product parameters passing in to the form successfully but I’m stuck with two things:

    a) I want the user to be able to see but not change the product details. Is there a way to lock certain fields so the data passed in to the form from the product list cannot be altered.

    b) There are certain product details which would be meaningless to the user but are vital to me. I’d like to hide these from view but they need to be in the email. I tried hiding the fields but the email then shows the field as empty.

    Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

  • Edit the field details and use the attributes setting to make the field readonly

    Attributes:
    Use to insert input field attributes. Example: To make a text field readonly, set to: readonly=”readonly”

    Use field type “hidden” for the other fields

    There is a bug with hidden fields that will be fixed in the next update:
    maybe later today

    Bug fix: query into hidden field type was not working.

    Sorry for the delay responding – got distracted by the Xmas thing.

    Both solutions work perfectly, many thanks for your swift assistance.
