I have a form on my website where live bands register their details with us: http://www.blacktiegroup.com.au/actregister.html

Although they are filling in all the required information (and I've tested this myself), the bio field and songlist fields are not always coming through properly or at all. This has only just started happening in the past couple of weeks. This always worked fine previously. Some of our bands prefer to copy and paste all of their data into these fields, would this have something to do with the problem??? Too much data???

I thought I'd create a new form to see if this would fix the problem but again the songlist field won't deliver the songlist I pasted into that field. Here is the new form link: http://www.livebandsaustralia.com.au/band_sign_up.html

Any feedback on this would be very much appreciated.

Right now your web page is configured to using character set: iso-8859-1. You can see this in the head of your web page:

Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />


If there is special characters being pasted from a document into your form, this will likely cause problems. Change the above line of code to show the following instead:

Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />


This uses the UTF-8 encoding which is better supported. It should solve the problem.

Still happening. When I export to Excel, several submissions are incomplete.

My page code (adform.html) can be sent but I don't want it in a public forum. Help!

I am having the same issue as some other folks, but none of the solutions posted work for them. I receive e-mail confirmations with the correct data, but no matter what type of file I use as the export type, the data is jumbled. This isn't a characheter set or related issue. Again, the form data entered is correctly received because I see the correct data in the e-mail. For example, a field for phone number will show 427-989-1020 in the confirmation e-mail field, but when I see the record online or try to export it, it shows 427-989-1. This issue just started within the last few weeks. I have had a form up for a month, and just went to export data yesterday and found this issue. This really hurts. What can I do? Why is this happening?

Try rebuilding the form.

I am having the same problem. The data comes through the email correctly, but in the message center and PDF the answers don't go with the right questions. I even completely rebuilt the form using the Form Wizard. Any suggestions to try?

Please do the steps outlined above. Make sure your page is using the utf-8 character set and try deleting and recreating the wrong questions.
