Q: I have checked the help file and can not find the solution to my problem, 2 things are happening. 1st. when I click on my continue button page one with all required boxes filled. I don't go directly to my page two, I go to the Required Field Missing for a Field on page two, should not I go to page two and given the opportunity to enter data in those boxes.

A: If you have a required field set in the processing code then it expects the field to be delivered to it when it is called, ie the first page is processed by the second page processing code so the required fields set in the second page processing code are those that relate to the page that calls it ie the first page. This process is followed through the pages ie each page calls the following page until the last page, which generally calls its self. If you what to have specific required variables in the last page that are not from previous pages you will need to set the last page to call a separate processing code so those variables can be checked. So basically you need to adjust your Required Field settings to match the page that is calling the processing code. I can always help when I know what is or is not happening.

Q: I have created a form with your software and am now testing it out. I have required fields in the form. When one or more of the required fields is left out, the message is received that required fields are missing and there is a button to return to the form. There is a problem (as I see it) because the information previously entered into the form is blank when you return to the form. Surely your software is not designed this way. What am I doing wrong in the creation of the form through form1builder?

A: As outlined in the Help file you set code in the fields so data is not lost. Full details are in the Maintaining Form Content section (4) of the Help file. If you read and follow the Help file you are doing nothing wrong.

Q: When a radio button or checkbox has been selected by the user of the form, it sends a response of "on" to the form receiver. "On" seems to be more of a programming term (on/off, true/false), than something that is user friendly. Is it possible to change it to return "yes", which I believe the receiver of the form (usually a non-technical person) would understand better?

A: The actual term set is determined by the browser. It is not set by Form1. If the browser sets the value to "on" when selected then this is what is displayed. This value can vary between browsers.
