Hi Everyone,

Newbie to all this, specially to coffeecup.
I have a webform hosted on S-drive and found several issues, hope someone can help me out or direct to me:

1. Webform design
Although field labels do allow foreign characters and they shown correctly, field names are a different matter altogether.
It would seemingly allow me to name the field using foreign characters ( accents like é ), it initially shows fine, but when I hit enter, all of those characters simply dissapear.
2. S-drive collected form entries
This much of the same issue I believe.
2.1. When looking at the form entries, S-drive lists field names instead of field labels, there's no apparent way to change this behaviour. I wouldn't mind this much, however based on issue #1, since can not use foreign characters, there doesn't seem to be a workaround for me on this.
Once again, odd though that the automatic email I receive are actually based on the field labels, correctly showing foreign characters.
2.2. When downloading form entries as a csv file, once again the field names downloads, plus the foreign characters gets converted into jumbled characters. Once again all this despite the fact that emails sent are perfect, actually what I would want.
3. S-drive form data downloads
Will there be enhancement when eventually xls will be used instead of csv? Although I know I can convert this, however in this day and age, xls would seem a more pertinent way of collecting data.

Thanks so much

Rob
