I need to create a very large multi page (section) form which users, from the front end, can create and edit records, and have the ability to navigate through to a specific section once within the record. For example there are 8 sections and if the user manages to get to section 3 on their first session, they can come back and jump straight to section 4.

I have tried the pagebreak and panel/pane methods, with success to an extent but the navigation (with save and continue editing) is a big problem.

I have settled on the idea that I could use a 'holder' form with buttons/dropdown/radio to select the section and then use custom event switcher to select the form requested. Ideally the forms would save and allow you to continue until pressing a master save and return button which would take you to the CC list. I can get some of the functionality but linking this into ChronoConnectivity is leaving me lost.

Hope the above makes sense, it does in my head! Has anyone got some pointers for me?

Hi Dave,

I'd do this with separate forms; save the data to the DB each time one of the forms is submitted and use links to move between the pages. This works quite neatly. You need to have some kind of identifier to link the parts together, id they are logged in use the User ID, if not save a temporary identifier to the user session. That way you can recover any common data you need in each On Load and/or ON Submit event.

Thanks Bob, I'll give that a go
