Thank you for Calc Builder. I was recently asked to do an e-mail based order form for a website, and Calc Builder did the trick.
But of course, now that I've used it, there were some areas that might be improved in future versions:
1. Allow users to set PDF/Excel export headers, footers, and filenames as part of the Calculator or as part of the Matrix.
2. Support a textarea field for comments to be sent with the form.
3. Change form table to wrap lines within a cell to a new line (the behavior I saw was that the cells were only one line high).
4. Support logical AND/OR for conditional option lists - this can be achieved through the Linked List, but the Linked List options can become numerous if there are too many preceding conditions. For example, under Linked Lists, a list with two preceding dependencies requires creating options that cover all the combinations of the combined parent lists. It would be easier to say "if parent 1 selection = x and parent 2 selection = y then display child option z".
5. Highlighting of fields that are filled out incorrectly.
6. Custom error messages per field.
7. Ability to define a static target e-mail address for sending the output form via e-mail.
