Hi:
I've been fiddling around with how to DROP a form-specific table in the new CF1.5. Search the forum indicates that this must be done outside of CF using MySQL functions or PhpMyAdmin. There is probably a reason for this but it was nice in the old CF to be able to tweak a form then DROP/CREATE the table to ensure that everything is kosher with the table. I have some users that would prefer not to give full SQL Admin rights/tool access but definitely understood how to delete a table via the CF interface and re-create it. Perhaps I'm just not understanding how this can be achieved within the new CF. Any advice appreciated.

Hi pastvne,
I don't remember that you could ever drop a table from inside ChronoForms. But my memory isn't always reliable. I guess the easy answer woudl be to create a little form that checked the list of chronoforms data tables and created delete buttons form them with a suitable confirmation dialogue.
Deleting tables is almost always risky though!

Hello -- I'm not sure if I understand the response, but I have the same issue: I've tweaked a form, and now the data won't get captured in the original table because the form is different. How can I start gathering the new data in a new table if I can't (easily) get rid of the old table.
If anyone can answer, please bear in mind that I'm new to Joomla and Chronoforms, so please treat me as a novice.
Thank you.
