Forms - Using a variable in the Send To Email Activity

Forms

I am creating a form that has an email address field for notifications. When I try to use the variable in the SendTo a message comes up about using a valid variable. When it tries to send the email it throws an error that the email recipient was not provided. Not sure what I am doing wrong, why wouldn't the variable be valid?

I believe the problem is that you are manually typing into that field to try and use a variable. Instead, try selecting the drop down arrow and selecting from the list provided.

Is the "Your Email Address" field an email type field or just a text box?

Same exact scenario when using the Email specific field.

I have a similar process. I have a student form that is filled out. it is saved to a LF folder. The routing info is stored in this form and placed into a variable based on the school selected. The info is then transferred to another form to go to an advisor. A user task is generated and assigned based on the variable created in the first form. It should notify the advisor that a form is waiting to be processed. However, I get the error

Message: Email recipient was not provided. Email was not sent. (Tracking info: business process name: VSS Course Certification Process(3), step name: Process Submittal, main instance id: 11241, worker instance ID: 13922 )

Stack trace: at WebCommonCtrls.EmailMessage.SelfChecking()

at WebCommonCtrls.EmailDeliver.DeliverEmailSync(EmailMessage em)

at WebCommonCtrls.EmailDeliver.SendEmailNotification(Object o)

The variable does contain the email address and another variable contains the username of the advisor. Neither variable triggers an email. The task is waiting to be processed but no notice.

Can you help me?
