Will, I appreciate your prompt response to my rating, but I am really not interested in investing more time in this plugin.
However, I will report this to you. Before installing your plugin, I had tried the YOP plugin. I deactivated it, of course, before installing and activating the AS plugin, but after my first three attempts to create a survey with AS failed I did consider the possibility of a conflict. So, I then deleted the YOP plugin, rebooted my computer, and gave AS one more try.
The result with Awesome Surveys was the same, so I tend to doubt the problem is a conflict.
