Hi all

Newbie here and trying to make a form that when it comes up, will display the last values the person entered. There will be a forward button, a backward button and a submit button. The forward and backward buttons will allow the user to navigate through their entries in the table. The submit button will take the current screens contents and enter it into the table. There is a new check box which if checked will enter a new entry in the table. If unchecked, it will update the current records values.

How can I make such a form with chrono forms?

Thanks in advance for any assistance in pointing me in the direction of documentation or examples.

Hi Dean-O,

Yes, you can do all of that using ChronoForms and/or ChronoConnectivity but you are going to have to do quite a lot of the coding for yourself.

The first step is to get hold of the tutorials and take a look. I'd probably start with the DB Connection feature in ChronoForms and see how that works (there's no tutorial for that but it's preety straightforward).

Hi Bob
Thanks for your reply

I have built a simple form that will allow me upon pressing the submit button, insert data from the forms fields into the DB tables columns. Is there a tutorial or documentation that says how to use the Submit Url in the form management? I just need to know how to put in three buttons... the one I have for submitting the info... the other two are for going forward and backwards through the users data. I would need two more forms in the main form, but the instructions I have seen said not to include the form tag in your form code. I was thinking of using Forward and Backward URL links with the id number in the url and either get the next one or the previous one... But I wanted to use buttons.

any ideas?

Hi Dean-O,

You can use buttons and attach JavaScript actions, or button images with links around them. Or submit buttons with different names and re-interpret them in your form html.
