Connecting form to data base

gillianbrown 25 Aug, 2009
I feel like a complete idiot! 😶 I downloaded ChronoForms and designed a survey form successfully for a community group I help out. So easy to design - great program! But, I can't figure out how to make the form 'work'. I did create a table. But when I use the form the information is not saved to the table and there are no results reported when I click on the form name that I set up on the menu. I don't seem to have understood the part of the tutorial that makes the form 'live' and work in the database. I did read all of the tutorials the other day and I spent quite a lot of time searching this forum. I just don't underestand. 😟 Is there someone willing to help me? Many thanks!

Hi Gillian,

Have you set up a DB Connection for your form? See the DB Connection tab and the Database tutorial.

Hi chuckt9881,

On the DB Connection Tab there's a flow control drop-down. Please make sure that this is set to 'After Emails' - if it says 'Before Emails' then it will not save unless emails are enabled on the General Tab.
