I did have my terminology mixed up. :)</p> <p>I suppose I'll just build an Excel sheet and import it all in that way.</p> <p>Thank you again,</p> <p>Chris </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/two-forms-one-database#post-5692 Sat, 02 May 2009 08:12:37 +0000 AMurray 5692@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I think you have the terminology confused....you can have 50 forms or 500 forms in the same database - Machform only uses *one* database.</p> <p>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. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/two-forms-one-database#post-5691 Sat, 02 May 2009 05:37:16 +0000 getnbye 5691@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'm wondering if it's possible to have two forms that connect to the same MySQL Database?</p> <p>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).</p> <p>I tried to simply duplicate my form and remove the Captcha stuff however this basically just creates a whole new table.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated,</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Chris </p>
