Hi Chad,
Well, dropdownlists works without any problem with the SQL option, but my issue is related to the CheckboxGroup in that I cannot extract the value using the $(field) and that I get a blank insert in such questions, even when the list was loaded succesfully, as I can see from both the form and the page's source.
You can try the following to see what I mean:
1) Insert a CheckboxGroup field in your form
2) Select the SQL Driven Options...
3) Type in the following query:
"SELECT 'Hi' AS QuestionOption, 'Hi' AS QuestionOptionValue.
4) Go to Form Completion Events... Select Add a New Event.
5) Select Dynamic Email and fill in the subject, from, and recipient fields... (you can use your own email account for a quick test)
6) In the body, type the parameterized field "$(field)" of your CheckBoxGroup, so that the only thing you'll see when you open the mail is "Hi"
7) Save changes...
8) Fill the form and click the Submit button... you should receive the email you configured with a blank body text instead of "Hi". And if you check your DB tables, the answer is inserted as a Blank too.
Really, I have tried that many, many times and I get the same result. Im running with 2.3.7 which is the last update so far.
Please help me out, I know you can

For the time being I used the manual entry of the options to get me out fo the fry, but I really need those options to load dynamically (since they are intended to be courses of some sort - subject to change)
Looking forward to your reply (and the new release of course)
