   I have created a specific form for one customer and I would like to input into the form like customer , name, address, phone, email, that the same customer will not have to repeat every time, only section that he needs to fill, I read a couple posts down "Post Data to Table" is this a similar procedure or need to be different

   Umm.. no, that's not the same.

   If this form is just a specific form for one customer, you might better set the default values for some of those fields. So that your customer won't need to fill it.

   Simply go to your form editor page, click the field and you will see the "Default Value" input box on your field properties. Put the value there.

   Hi,

   To set default value for name and address field, you should edit "view-function.php" file. Let say you have form_id = 7, so try to follow these steps :

   1. Go to line 682 ~ 685, you'll see this code

   //check for guidelines
   if(!empty($element->guidelines)){
   	$guidelines = "<p class=\"guidelines\" id=\"guide_{$element->id}\"><small>{$element->guidelines}</small>
   ";
   }

   add exactly bellow that code

   if ($_GET['id'] == '7') {
   	$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value'] = "first name";
   	$element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value'] = "second name";
   }

   2. For address element, go to around line 1389 ~ 1394 you will see these code

   foreach ($country as $data){
   	if($data['value'] == $element->default_value){
   		$selected = 'selected="selected"';
   	}else{
   		$selected = '';
   	}

   put the code below that one

   if ($_GET['id'] == '7') {
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_1']['default_value'] = "address 1";
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_2']['default_value'] = "address 2";
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_3']['default_value'] = "city";
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_4']['default_value'] = "state";
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_5']['default_value'] = "zip";
   $element->populated_value['element_'.$element->id.'_6']['default_value'] = "country"; // must same with country drop down value
   }
