You can use custom validation on the second question, where you are asking the email address.

Thank you for replying,
I tried this, but the dialog opened only allow me to enter literal text in the [is equal to] field.
I would like the condition to be between the two email fields.

Thanks

I am not a frequent user to Quadratics, so a simple trick may need a little help.
the wizard doesn't allow me to select an other question to pipe in its value, the field provided is a plain text field.

is there is a formula I can use?
also since the email question and the confirm email question are in the same form, I don't or couldn't find the field variable name to use it in the pipe formula.

Thank you
