ok I got to step 5 and generated my form,I then downloaded this to my hard drive,
I then opened my contact page in dreamweaver, copied the html from form1 I had downloaded and pasted it into my contact page, I saved this as contact.htm and uploaded it back to my site.
Everything looks fine but the form does work and does not post anything or enter anything into the datebase, not mysql option just plain option.
My questions are?
1. Once the form is generated how do I integrate it into a page on my site called contact.htm.
2. Where should the page be stored? in public_html directory or somewhere else?
3. If I go to form1 on my site .i.e. www.mydomain.co.uk/forms/forms/form1.html (just the generated html) and fill it in and click it, it does not work...what am I doing wrong.
Any help much appreciated.....
P.S Is there an istalation guide anywhere, I can't find one.

Paul,
I think the problem is that the form1 has to be in the forms folder along with all the other bits and pieces such as process.php. By copying it and calling it contact you have taken it away from the files it needs.
The best way, I think, and I'm just about to try this myself having literally just finished setting up a form, is to use a #include of form1 within your contact.htm.

Paul, jaybee is right. You can't create the form on your desktop and then just upload the form to your webserver. The form needs all the other stuff to process its contents. The way to do it is to install the phpformgenerator *on your web server*, then create the form. It becomes form1.html in the "forms" folder, and that is where it needs to stay. You would probably want to rename it, though, b/c the next form generated will try to name itself form1.html also.
Next, in your contact.htm file, create a php include that points to the form. works great!

I'm having the same problem as Paul.
I'm pretty much a newbie webmistress, so your answeres of a #include (or php include) are pretty much greek to me.
Is there a translation for us wannabees? :)
