Hi everyone,
I was able to connect a form to an external database within wordpress. This means on Data model is OK = Data9 . The table is listed on field "Database Table*" it is choosen properly and already saved. Designed field receives then the variable : {var:read_data9} like other forms I have, .... and just one field of the table "dofs"is selected to appear in the dropdown list. However nothing is listed (Read_data is obviously before loading the form).

Database is in the samer server as the WordPress data, but certenly in other table different to WP tables. That is the reason I needed to connect via external database, because the table to select for the dropdown did not appear in the regular listing for selection.

Question 1 : Is there a way to include tables ... different to the ones of Wordpress data (but in the same server) .... without recurring to an external database?
Question 2 : What might be the reason I don't have any item in the dropdown list having connection to the table?
Question 3 : I don't have a problem reading a table via PHP, but it is not clear to me how to pass the array to the dropdown field and see the listing for selection. Please give me a sample please, but complete sample ....since a I am not an expert and this is not precisely in the manual. If possible passing the the array within a custom php section. Not through </> PHP logic since Server answered with a security "Not authorized" page.
