Ryan, You solved it. I was trying to submit from within the preview pane view. Once I openned the e-mail the submission worked. Although it's great you helped me get the form working, now I have to convey to people I send this e-mail to, that they have to open the e-mail in a separate window to successfully submit the form?
That's a bummer! Are there any work arounds that would allow the form to be processed from with the preview pane? Thanks. D- > Ummm.....the email won't do <cfform> either like you suggested.
