Connecting several forms

HerKle 24 May, 2013
Hi,

I have a basic question before starting to construct the form(s) I need.

This is, what I intend to do:
1. Search in a db table for a record with a form containing three fields

2. If the search is successful display the found data in a next form with more fields to either confirm or update the data; if no result was found display the same form to enter and save the new data

3. Use the id of the existing/new record to fill in a third form.

What do you recommend: create three different forms and try to load them one after the other or using a "multi page form"?

Thanks for your advice.

Hi HerKle,

If the form is a reasonably short (a dozen inputs or so) then I'd do it in one multi-page form. Thst makes it easier to keep everything in one place and makes passing data around a bit simpler.
