Indeed, duplicating (making a copy of)the forms is a *feature* of Machform. So you can have two forms with the same name, because the primary key is not the form's name, it's the record ID in the database. When you load a form on a webpage, the field in the query is the id. as in <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/machform/view_form.php?id=46" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoursite.com/machform/view_form.php?id=46</a></p> <p>I suppose you'd have to check, manually, that you're not using the same form name (check the list of forms in the form manager when you first log on). </p> <p>Do you have a huge number of forms, that checking manually for a used name would be tedious task? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-make-form-name-unique#post-6268 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:06:13 +0000 expat 6268@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>thats correct no forms should have same name; how can i do it? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-make-form-name-unique#post-6228 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:30:57 +0000 yuniar 6228@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Do you mean you don't want to have two forms with the same name? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/how-can-i-make-form-name-unique#post-6202 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:39:05 +0000 expat 6202@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi there, how can i make form name to be unique, basically checking the Id against the name </p>
