Q: I am receiving the following email error message (Error MYSQL TEST). Have you got any suggestions on what I may be doing wrong. I have followed all the requirements and set up the table 'abc'.

A: This error indicates that the data cannot be added the specified database table. Recheck MYSQL Server Name, MYSQL User Name, MYSQL User Password, MYSQL Database Name, MYSQL Table Name. These must match existing settings in the MYSQL database. Also recheck that the existing table (MYSQL Table Name) has field names that correspond to form field names and text variable types are used. Remember if your form field is First_Name it displays as First Name in your browser but the MYSQL field must be First_Name. It is also recommended that the form is run on the same server as your MYSQL database. Also make sure that any MYSQL table fields that are not skipped can accept the MYSQL Empty Value or NULL values. If you have access to the error log files for your server you may be able to identify the problem by checking the error log entries. If you still have difficulty try stripping your form and database down to a single field ie subject to eliminate/minimize potential data mismatches and determine if it is an access or data issue.

Q: Just been testing trial download of Form1 Builder MySQL. When the form processing code identifies that required fields are missing it provides a button to return to form to fill out the missing value. It also clears all fields on the form which would be very annoying if someone has just spent a long time filling out other valid fields on the form. Is this supposed to happen/is there a way of preventing this or do users have to use the 'Back' button to preserve previous values?

A: You can insert some code into your form to maintain form content until it is sent. See the Maintaining Form Content section (4) in the Help file for details. This has the benefit that it will work with all browsers, all the time, as opposed to some browsers some of the time. Alternatively if you wish to use the browser back button method then you can set up your own message pages and tell the user to click the browser back button.
