    Checkbox values and email

    Not sure where to post this? My question is the following though:

    I have checkboxes on a form. When the user submits the form, we have an email that is sent to where it needs to go. It displays the values of fields on the form (in this case the checkboxes). The problem is the checkboxes have values of 0 for not checked or the name that is associated with the checkbox.

    What we would like to do is just have the email display the checkboxes the user clicked, not all of them and have to see all these values that dont mean much to them.

    one thought was have the checkbox values go to a text box that would then throw their checked values together. But what would be nice is if there is a way to just display the checkbox values that are checked. If the text box is an option, would still need help on that. What was able to get thrown together was just not working.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

    InfoPath allows you to create sections. Create one section where the user "fills out" the form. Create a second section which you can design, as desired, as your "email section". Then hide/display these sections as necessary to send the email. You can hide the "fill out" section and show only the "email section" in your email, so you can manipulate the email section as desired and make it look nice. Good luck!
