I am doing a multipage (job application) forum and there are some things that are not clear to me. I have created an empty mother forum (application). I have broken up the long form into 5 chunks (app_1, app_2, app_3, app_4 and app_5). Do I need to create a separate table for each mini forum? At the bottom of the first four forums, what script do I place that would save the data to a table and then link to the next part? Should I just use a plain <a> tag html code and link to the next part?
Hi kdbates,
Up to you - it depends on how you want to save your data. Typically though you'd save it all to the same table by adding DB Connections to each step. To make sure that the same record is updated at each step you need to get the primary key from the new record and add that to a hidden input in the following steps.

Just a normal submit button. ChronoForms handles the transfer to the next step.Bob
