We are creating a form that is pretty long to fill out. Can a user fill out some of the form then click submit then have the same user open the form at a later date with the information already filled in?
thanx

Hi james,
Yes, but you have to be able to identify the User. If they are registered and logged in this is easy, you use their User ID. If not, then you can set a cookie - that will recognise them if they use the same computer. After that you need some kind of sign-in page at the start of the form to identify them and recover their data. Or I guess a customised URL would also work.
Once you have them identified then the Profile Plugin can help reload existing data from a databse table. You must include the record priamry key in a hidden indput so that when the data is re-saved the record is updated - otherwise a new record will be created.
