OK, I may be stupid but here goes. I generated a form and can use it OK. I want to change the fields though. I attempt to go to the http://www.example.com/phpform/phpform/forms/admin/index.php I cant do anything. I can get the orange page up and it says that it is the admin portal but I cannot progress any further.
One thing of note, in the install guide it states: Point your browser to: http://www.example.com/phpform/index.php or where ever you uploaded the program. This will take you though the form generator tool to create your forms. Each time you want to generate a form, complete the process below.
http://www.example.com/phpform/
or http://www.example.com/phpformgenerator/
are both install folders. This folder can have any name. It is merely the location where the form generator is installed.
The http://www.example.com/phpform/index.php
file is the lead-in into the form generator. This allows you to create new forms. When you create a new form it goes into a new folder.
Typically http://www.example.com/phpform/forms/use/formname
but in any case the new form goes into a folder with a name that you have defined in the generator. The last step in the generator will point you to the new form.
If you think you want to change your form or just add new form fields, your best option is to start over. Old forms can be edited but leave this alone unless you are very familiar with html and php.
The admin is included for use when there is form data to administrate. If there is no data, the admin will appear but it will be empty. Try adding some data then go back to the admin.
Forms can be changed in any way you want but be prepared to do some programming of your own.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Thanks for your help. I will delete the form and start again. I know a little about html. What I wanted to do was to change the text box size but I have been unable to find the value in the code....
Thanks again.

I had to use: http://www.example.com/phpformgenerator/index.php
Do I have to delete the form1 and start again? Also, can I add a welcome message when people access the form? Thanks for your help
