    I would like to customise the form and also have it appear in an alternative location to where it is created, as I would like to integrate it better into my site. I've spent all day trying to look through the forum and trying things out and I'm still no wiser. 

    What's the best way of doing this?  I've worked out I can change the form1.html to customise how I would like it to appear.   But I can't work out the best way of changing the location.  I've read on the forum, that I could use a php include in the file, but when I did this it was looking for the process.php in the wrong place.  I've also read that I could copy the folder for the form from the use directory to where I would like it. 

    It looks like a great program, just wish I could get my head around it, I haven't done anything like this before so I'm finding my feet slowy.

    Cheers for your help.

      the idea behind properly moving the form is this. You must keep all the existing linkage intact. This basically means that form1.html should find all the other files around it exactly the way it does in its original spot. So lets say your form1.html is at:
      /phpform/use/myForm/form1.html

      And you need to move it to:
      /mywebsite/form1.html

      In order to do this, you must copy all the files and directories in /phpform/use/myForm/ directory to /mywebsite/ . Doing this will preserve all the links and your deployment will be successful.

      Is the form1.html the form  that comes up blank everytime the page is launched?

      What other files are associated with the form that I need to move?

      Very appreciative of any help!

      all the files and other directories that are in the same directory as form1.html are required.
