Hi

I am mailing a form using the JMail component, when the form is sent the form fields are in apparently random order.

At first I thought it was because I was using a table for layout however after removing the table the results are still the same.......?

I have appended the form, the sendmail page and the e-mail results below.

Any pointers would be welcomed.

TIA

it doesn't have much to do with the use of any particular mailer component but how you retrieve the form objects form the collection. in order to grab them in the order they are situated in your form will will need to loop as
Code: 
<%
For x = 1 to Request.Form.Count
    Response.Write Request.Form.Key(x) & " = "
    Response.Write Request.Form.Item(x) & "<br>"
Next 
%>
