Just the possibility edit previously created forms.

If I want to create new form, much like one created
before, I might be able edit that one or create new one
based on the old one.

    Editing forms is not a big deal. Open your form (form1.html)
    in any html editor (I use Microsoft FrontPage). Just don't
    change the forms input box variable names or the submit and
    reset button actions. I've don it with good success.

    This should be accessable fromm the Admin console and
    display the existing form fields and variables so that you
    can modify field types or re-create the form entirely.

    I have edited the forms with sucecss but if you want to add
    or remove fields, change the field order or change the field
    from required to optional it requires lots of changes in the
    process.php and form1 files which could be easier made from
    an admin process.

    Well I have edited the form successfully and also added new
    fields as well as modifiying the order of existing fields.
    But it's a laborious process and not helped by the lack of
    any documentation.

    A way of making changes to the form by having the form
    generator parse existing form for the current state and also
    allow you to swop field positions would make it much more
    intuitive.

    Regards

    i feel i did a fine job of adding a field on the
    process.php and form1 files. everything seems to work fine
    except when i open the admin index.php to open the
    database, the form results is in the added field but the
    column was not added for the new field.

    anyone offer any insight?

    are these two files the only ones edited in the database
    folder. or the "identical" ones in the FORMS folder also
    have to be manipulated.

    thank you, tony
