   Do you mean you don't want to have two forms with the same name?

   There's no inbuilt check to prevent duplicate forms. Indeed, duplicating (making a copy of)the forms is a *feature* of Machform. So you can have two forms with the same name, because the primary key is not the form's name, it's the record ID in the database. When you load a form on a webpage, the field in the query is the id. as in http://www.yoursite.com/machform/view_form.php?id=46

   I suppose you'd have to check, manually, that you're not using the same form name (check the list of forms in the form manager when you first log on).

   Do you have a huge number of forms, that checking manually for a used name would be tedious task?
