    I'd like to modify the Submit process to display a custom message and also display a link to return to the top of the form so that another entry can be made. Right now, it seems that I can do one or the other but not both.
    Any ideas?

    You can already create a custom "thank you" message (form properties), or even an external page and both can include any HTML (such as links).

    To clarify, do you mean you want the user to click the "Submit" button, the data is sent, the "thank you" page comes up, and then automatically redirects back to the form after a few seconds? You can set up the "thank you" page as an external URL page, and within that use a Meta Refresh, to make it redirect back to the form.

    <META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="seconds;URL=the-other-url">
    The above goes in the <Head> section of your HTML code.

    CONTENT= is the number of seconds before the refresh to the other page.
    URL is the address to the page you want to redirect to.

    If you just want a link in the Thank You page, simply design/write the page as you see fit with a hyerlink back to the form. The link would be to the page in which the form is embedded.
