   Is there a way to limit the number of applications that will be accepted? I only want to be able to accept 20 entries and want to have the form stop after that

   Hi,

   You need to do small customization for this, edit your "post-functions.php" file and go to around line 880, you'll see this code :

   $process_result['error_elements'] = $error_elements;

   then add these code exactly bellow that line

   //limit the entries
   if ($form_id == 2) {
   	$query = "SELECT count(1) total_row FROM ap_form_{$form_id} ";
   	$result = do_query($query);
   	$row = do_fetch_result($result);
   
   	if ($row[0] >= 20) {
   		$process_result['custom_error'] = 'Sorry, this form limited to 3 entries.';
   	}
   }

   in there I set those logic only form id = 1, make sure you've change the ID with yours.

   Excellent! Thank you! What if I wanted to set this limit for multiple forms. For example, 4 different forms, where I wanted to limit the entries to 20?

   You can change the condition to be like this

   //limit the entries
   if ($form_id == 1 || $form_id == 2 || $form_id == 3 || $form_id == 4) {
   	$query = "SELECT count(1) total_row FROM ap_form_{$form_id} ";
   	$result = do_query($query);
   	$row = do_fetch_result($result);
   
   	if ($row[0] >= 20) {
   		$process_result['custom_error'] = 'Sorry, this form limited to 20 entries.';
   	}
   }

   that code will applied for form 1,2,3,4

   Juan.....this post is rather old (2 years...) and refers to a solution for Version 2 of Machform.

   If you have purchased Version 3 it makes this a lot simpler.

   Open the form, go to the Form properties (you may need to expand the 'more options' link) but there is an option there in the "protect and limit" options section - "Limit submission - "Maximum Accepted Entries : X" where "X" is the number of entries the form should accept before it shuts down / is disabled from accepting further entries.

   Is it possible to limit the use per user of the form? For example, person 1 can only access it 10 times and person 2 can access it 12 times and so on.
