Option to sort fields affecting custom code for selecting recipients (See more user questions)
Aaaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!! Shame on me missing that! Getting caught out with my
own code. Got caught out with the very same thing before! I first wrote
the Pro script four years ago, some of the code dates from then and
sometimes I forget how it works (without revisiting it).
Correct. If using a template you would simply not include the recipient
field. That only affects the message, not the functionality.
Well done you and good luck with the Admin, they will love it!
