A Question on Form types?

Hi there,

I want to make a form that can be completed, submitted, but then open another form (same form) for additional info.

What I (think) I need is:
    A button that says Add New Record that will submit the data (to a database) and then present a new form.
    Another button that says Finished that will save the last record and post to the dbase

Ultimately I want something that will allow me to enter a huge list of "stuff" (something like an inventory) but not necessarily have to keep reopening or overwriting what is already in the fields.

Any and all help more than appreciated.
TIA

cheers

Mmmm...Every time the form is filled out a 'new' entry will be created. Unfortunately they way the form builder works, it's a one shot deal. But you can still achieve what you want. Just use the re-direct to display a new form after submit. The user can input as many 'records' as they like. Use a menu option at the top/bottom of the page to allow the user to leave the page when they want. Each 'form' filled out will store a record in the database. :cool:

You could also use conditionals to have a selection drop down on how many they need to enter and display that many inputs to the user.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thank you for those suggestions I will go through and see if I can accomplish this - not to say I may need a little more help :-)
