Wow did I say Wow I meant WOW! Just downloaded the latest version. It is now a very respectable tool. My compliments to whoever cooked this one up.

What's the saying "Ask and thou shall receive" Awesome job CC.

Here is a tip!

If you have designed a complicated form, get a novice to complete it whilst you look over their shoulder (I used my daughter as a guinea pig) it is very intersting to see how they read, construe the instructions and complete the form.

It may not be quite as you expect

Skipy

That's what I do with some of my excel applications I build. What the user tells you they want and what they want the application to do are two different things.

Eric ! isn't that just like programming "I wish the program would do what I want not what I tell it" Talking of programming.

I am working on interpreting the results of a form to see if I can really use the radio buttons as redirects to Paypal. There is an example of an online order form that gave me the idea.

It will mean writing a Paypal script in php based on the selections on the form and sending a copy to Paypal so that the Paypal order screen comes up for the client. Great challenge to get my teeth in. The form information is in the result.txt file. I can use the data there. The client gets a chance to refuse at the Paypal screen.
To test forms I use a Gmail address which I send to with a reply to my main address. I am my own client.
Yes I admit it I do talk to myself. Where else could I find such a like mind, What a great guy

It's not that you talk to yourself. There's just nobody close enough to hear.

I created a test form and downloaded the Result file to test in Wamp
Result file gave me this:-
Name,Email,radio5,_submitted_,_fromaddress_
Me,My Email,"Software","2012-01-17 01:34:49",My IP
I extract this and place in a Buy Now Button code >>Name, Email,Software Cost

Insert this into re written code

<form target="PayPal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" style="margin:0;padding:0">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="My Account">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Software">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="01">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="Val">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="handling" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="Success">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="Failure">
<input type="hidden" name="undefined_quantity" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="receiver_email" value="My Email">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="image" name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but9.gif" Work to do here style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:10px;" alt="Make payments with PayPal, it's fast, free, and secure!">
</form>

Write a temp html page and auto submit. Paypal handles the rest. I use php designer lite as the IDE uses php.net help file. What with the internet it should be a breeze. Famous last words. Fun at least.
I use Wamp as my Windows server but do not have a email option live. Use my host for that.

This will be for one item at a time, which will suit me to a tee. I will need a Beta tester/s.

I am so impressed with the ability of CC programs and what can be done with them.

And some people say this new version is too restrictive!

Ahh! Scott Your developers are brilliant, Would I love to pester the life out of them, It is pretty lonely doing what I do on my own. My skills pale when I look at some of the software they have made. But I do like to push the abilities of software way past any use by limit. Especially if it is for my benefit
There was a time I couldn't even spell programmer now I are one, even if a bit mediocre.
