Niall, I gave that a shot but still no good. I do think you are on the right track though. In my main window I have my form action associated to the CUEnquiryQueryForm. I pop up the window using a <html:link> tag that calls the ShowEmailAction that populates the EmailForm form. I would think that if the EmailForm was then displayed in my pop-up show_email.jsp page everything would be OK.
NEW FLASH!! I was fiddling around with struts-config.xml and changed the input property to the JSP page show_email.jsp instead of the Action .do path. Now looks like <action path="/enquiry/showEmail" type="com.cuscal.mmdd.action.cuenquiry.ShowEmailAction" name="EmailForm" scope="request" input="com/cuscal/mmdd/jsp/cu_enquiry/show_email.jsp" validate="false"> <forward name="success" path="com/cuscal/mmdd/jsp/cu_enquiry/show_email.jsp"/> </action> This change was done in conjunction with your idea to add the name property to my <html:text> tag. I thought the input property would only be activated upon the validation failing but there you go. Looks like I owe you another beer ;) Thanks to Mark for his insight as well.

This is the default 'name' for <html> tags if you don't specify one (which you arnt). The action mapping on your form is "/enquiry/email.do" - not the "/enquiry/showEmail" that you are showing us in your struts-config. My bet is the mapping for "/enquiry/email.do" is still in your struts-config.xml associated with a different form - so the <html:form> tag is creating a new 'empty' form, with no email address and thats what your <html:text> tag is picking up - not your new form.
