Hi Lucky and welcome to our :)

Could you post your code in here as it may be easier to point you in the right direction.

Also it might be a good idea to have a look in the /app_data/logs file to see if it reveals something usefull.

Cheers, Jan

Thanks for the reply Jan

all I am trying to do is i created a form in Contour

and added a field with caption called Company's email

then i used a workflow to populate email address

like in this example

http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/extending-contour,-sending-email-dependent-on-form-selection

 private IEnumerable<string> GetEmailAddressesViaLookUp(XmlNode xml, string emailBody)

    {

        // EmailLookUpField - this is the field which we have specified in the workflow that has the email address 

        // values assigned to them, in our case the "Sectors" checkbox list.

        string xpath = string.Format(LookUpFieldXpath, EmailLookUpField);

        string fromEmailXpath = string.Format(LookUpFieldXpath, EmailFrom);

        var addresses = new List<string>();

        XmlNode destiniationIds = xml.SelectSingleNode(xpath);

        XmlNode fromEmail = xml.SelectSingleNode(fromEmailXpath);

        XmlNode emailFromNode = fromEmail.SelectSingleNode("values/value");

        EmailFrom = emailFromNode.InnerText;

        if (destiniationIds != null)

        {

            // Loops through the the List of emails and sends an email to each department

            IEnumerable<string> emails = ExtractSectorsFromNodeXml(destiniationIds);

            foreach(string email in emails)

            {

                SendMail(emailAdress, Subject, emailBody);

            }

        }

        return addresses;

    }

here my xmlNode destinationIds is showing null if i have apostrophe in my lookup field :(

Hi Lucky

That's probably because you need to escape the ' character. I'm a bit unsure where you get the "Company's email" value from. But I think it's simply a matter of handling it by either removing it and make a comparison without it if I get what you're trying to do correctly. Or as mentioned simply ecsape the character somehow.

Btw there's more Contour documentation here if you're not aware http://our.umbraco.org/projects/umbraco-pro/contour/documentation
