    Hi


    I followed your guidance on setting up a form so it can be completed later.

    When I click the link or am redirected via the first page thank you to the main form, the two field 'name' fields do not carry across properly, the first and last name are entered into the first name field, this means the functionality you propose is intended to carry a field on one form to another via the url simply does not work for this type of field

    I did check your form #82313527664357 and found that you have delete the full name field for "Surveyor Name" and "Customer Name".

    Here is the format to populate textboxes for full name field:

    surveyorName[first]={name:first}&surveyorName[last]={name:last}

    Where "surveyorName" of surveyorName[first] is the field name of the form which you want to populate and "name" of {name:first} and {name:last} is the name of the field whcih you want to read and pass to the other form.

    Hope this helps.

    Do get back to us if you have any questions.
