    Re: new form problem

    You have made an error somewhere. Usually it involves a typo an unwanted space or uppercase in the page name.
    Did you make your custom error page? If so it links to vodahost. Possibly that was intentional?

        Re: new form

        I could not get the form to appear.
        Please check the page name....again. It must be exactly..." entryonline "
        No spaces, no caps
        Verify that it is php
        Please publish...again

                It's been a while since I've used the form maker. Dd you use the wizard or use the ABVFP method form NavalDesign?
                I did not receive a reponse.

                  You can validate the error & succes page by sending two forms. Fill out the first one correctly and submit.....see what message you receive (success ??)
                  Do not fill in your name or leave the whole form blank on the 2nd try and submit it. You should receive the error page.

                          Re: new form

                          You will have to make some areas "required" otherwise the form can be submitted at any time.
                          NavalDesign is the guru on forms. Post a thread directed to him.
