We are using the "Jakob N loves us" Wufoo form and unfortunately they
only have an address field, when if you make it compulsory, people
have to complete their whole adress and country. We are really only
interested in the country and don't want to create too much effort for
the user in completing the form. I had to create a drop down box from
scracth for the countries. I can now add the address fields above it
to give it more relevance, but that would just increase the size of
the form with 4-5 lines (of information we don't actually need).

Very good point.  Tx

We only want to to know where they are from. We know from our product
which country is the destination. Journeys can also unfortunately
start in country of travel, so some people might still get confused.
