texte = Thanks for the responses... I thought that I would try for a simple syntax error before going into detail. So here's the what's happening... Site members login and submit a request form. Options on the form vary based on [member] level using the [showif], and this seems to work well. What I am attempting with this code, is to email the submitted data to varying people/departments based on the membership level - this is stored in the prefs.db. eg. If member1, then email to dept1@yourco.com The specific error that I was seeing in the log was "bad email address", but when I put the [lookup db=prefs.db... In the page, it pulled the exactly correct email. I'm betting that there is a better way to accomplish this, but would still like to understand why this failed. Any suggestions are appreciated... Thanks in advance. -Chris On 8/1/08 5:01 PM, "Donovan Brooke"
