    When I get to the last step I get the following message.  Even though it does create the table, It doesn't generate the form though.

    Now creating table 'TableName' ...

    Could not create MySQL database table. Maybe a table of the same name already exists?

    Any suggestions?

      don't ignore the message it gives you.. check and see if there is already a table called "TableName" in your database. Try a different table name and see what happens.

      How did you get passed the message.  I do not have a table of the same name but I keep getting the error and can't get it to work..

      Don't *assume* that there isn't a table with the same name already there, go check it out. Sometimes when the program messes up on other parts of the form generation process, it still has the database tables created. So you have to make sure no such tables exist, and if they are there, you should get rid of them before telling the form to create them again.

      Ron,

      your problem is due to file permissions. Make sure that the directory called "forms" inside the "phpform" directory has read+write permissions. Also, every subdirectory and file inside the "forms" directory also needs to have read+write permission. On a unix based system you can do this by executing: chmod -R 777 forms
