Hello all,
I am new to ChronoForms but have some experience with MySQL and Joomla. I have browsed the forums but I cannot find the solution to my question. It might be beyond my ability.
I am trying to keep track of a Name as it goes through different Steps (each step has a different form linked to a different table, with the Name as the common id).
Right now I have multiple tables connected by one primary key (Name). Is there a simple way to display the Name in the Select Menu of a new form, and then add new information for that same Name but in the new table?
It's exactly like they show in this article, but instead of putting Joomla articles in the select menu, putting in Name and being able to update the new table with the information in the new form.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Alex
Note: I'm using Joomla 1.7.3 and ChronoForms V4 RC3.0

Hi Alex,
Which version of ChronoForms are you using? You can find the version from Site Admin | Extensions | Install/Uninstall | Components in Joomla! 1.5 or Site Admin | Extensions | Extension Manager | Manage in Joomla! 1.6.
You can pass the name value from one form to another either in the form data, or by saving it in the User session. There are some potential problems with string keys, the Joomla! DB Code that ChronoForms uses only works correctly with integers - so you may hit some problems here :-(
