If they want to remove the survey later, it can easily be done via the management interface. I spent an hour this morning creating a survey and lost all my work because my web browser said the form data has expired when I accidentaly hit the back button instead of the proper link designer link. When I went back into the administrative interface to edit my survey, it wasn't there. It seems that unless I goto the FINISH section in the Survey Designer it does not save my survey at ALL when I'm creating a new one. So, now when I create a survey I immediately goto the FINISH section to make sure it is saved. Either the FINISH section should be renamed SAVE or it should handle things a bit more gracefully. If a person would sit down and do a survey all in one go, it might make more sense to call it finish, but I didn't select FINISH the first time round because I was still working on things. It wasn't "finished", it was a work in progress.

If you have spent more than an hour creating a question without completing it then I don't see this as being a design fault. Clicking the "Next Field" button or a previous question button will save anything that has been entered. Maybe an explanatory line at the top of the question tab page explaining this would suffice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kon Angelopoulos (angek) Date: 2003-09-16 10:04 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=198398 Michael, whenever you create a question and click on any of the buttons on the question page the question is saved.
