I have successfully created a multi-form that works beautifully. However on form 2 two I need to auto-complete a field from form 1. We require the First Name and Last Name on form 2. How can I programmatically accomplish this without asking the users to complete this information once again on page two.

that would duplicate only the data collected, what's the driver/requirement of having the same info asked for again on form #2 ?

We are collecting a large amount of data that gets printed out onto multiple pages. We need a way if page 1 and page 2 get separated to track who it belongs to. So by re-printing the name on the second page we can be assured that pages are not mixed up. We are gathering health history so I am sure you can see why this is important. Any help you can offer is appreciated.

do you print off of the admin email or the web page?

We print off the admin email that is sent.. When printed this is usually 2-3 pages long.

got it.
in that case, here is what I would do:
- turn on custom ID/Names for both forms
- on the second form include two new, hidden fields and name them
- First Name & Last Name (if those are the labels of the form #1 fields)
- position those hidden fields, where they make sense (page break)
this will 'carry over' the contents of the 2 fields from form #1 to form #2 without showing to the user, but they'll appear in the email…

I spoke to soon – With " Use custom input field NAMES & ID's I am not able to get emails from this form. If I disable this feature the form works perfectly. With the exception of the requested CC fields to page two. Can you office some advice as to what might be wrong.

Not sure how the above option would matter in terms of email receiving/not receiving.
When you uncheck 'suppress email…' for the 1st form (multi-page option), is an email generated for the partial first form?
Is the CC field not working at all?

So here are the combinations and results.
1. Both forms with User Custom input fields enabled = no email
2. Both forms with User Custom input fields disabled = This works but the mirror function does not work for page 2 / final email
3. First form suppress email disabled = two emails delivered page 1 and page 1 & 2 complete results. Not desired as two emails are sent but mirror is working on second page.
Until something is worked out we have elected to disable desired mirror function.
Please let us know what can be done.
- Thanks

very odd, especially that 3) works and 1) doesn't, since 3) appears to be exatcly like 1) except that 'suppress email is disabled '.
can you send me your complete backup file (global-settings>backup). my email is at the top in cforms.php.
