    I was wondering how I can stop just anyone altering the generated form? Is the only way to move folders in my ftp space? Which folder should I move?
    I read on a previous post to change CHMOD write permissions for the use folder once the form is completed. This didn't work for me, the form could still be re generated by anyone. Anyone any idea what I did wrong?

      If you look inside the use directory, each form project that you had created has its own directory. You need to simply move this directory (entirely, along with all the subdirectories and files in it) to a separate location where you will be using it. Reset the proper file permissions and you'll be set.

      Thanks that seems to work...which is strange, given the use dir remains empty. Is the form1.html supposed to be written to there? I thought it might be, given the link on the last page of the wizard goes to there. However, given my use dir is empty I get a 404. I did CHMOD the use dir to 777. What am I doing wrong?

      Great package! Keep up the good work.

      PS, the use dir is empty apart from the subdir I created in writing the form...but this dir remains empty...
