   Hello,

   I'm wondering if it's possible to have two forms that connect to the same MySQL Database?

   The reason I wanting to do this is so I have my normal form that is exposed to the public that contains all the required field boxes and Captcha and an Admin password protected form that my admins can use to quickly input 20 years of data into (Captcha and required fields turned off of course).

   I tried to simply duplicate my form and remove the Captcha stuff however this basically just creates a whole new table.

   Any help would be greatly appreciated,

   Thank you,

   Chris

   I think you have the terminology confused....you can have 50 forms or 500 forms in the same database - Machform only uses *one* database.

   However if you mean you want two forms that point to the same records - that's different. Each form creates a new table for the records associated with that form to be separated from the next one. I don't know (without complicated coding) if you can get two forms created in the Machform environment to point to the same set of records.

   Thank you AMurray..

   You are correct.. I did have my terminology mixed up. :)

   I suppose I'll just build an Excel sheet and import it all in that way.

   Thank you again,

   Chris
