I've built a site and have Web Form on my computer as well.

I click on the button on the side menu of VSD, and it wants me to purchase it.

So i go into the Web Form Builder outside of the VSD software and build my Form.

Now how do i get it incorporated into my site?

ps, i do not use the S-Drive. I upload via FTP to Go Daddy.

Thank you.

The Form Builder icon on the left is for the Classic version of Form Builder. We have not released an update to VSD yet to adjust these icons. You will just need to launch Web Form Builder through the program .

ok...thanks....how long should the S-Drive take to upload the form?

I opened a free S-Drive account to host this form, then i'll just link it to my site.

But its been "communicating" for longer then i would think it takes to communicate....about 10 min so far or longer.

It should take no more then 20-30 seconds tops. I would suggest rebooting your computer to clear up system resources and see if that helps any.

Hi Jamie:

While in Web Form Builder, under the File tab, export your form. A dialog box pops up. Click the copy to button. Go back to your VSD and open the page you want your form. Click the HTML icon and paste from your clipboard. This should put the html code from WFB in. Click ok. Under your Object icon in VSD make sure your width and height is set to the same numbers as your form. Adjust your form as needed by moving the object window around. Now, click the button to open your explorer button in WFB so you can see the files that need to be uploaded to your website. Should be a file folder and a file. Both need to be uploaded. Good luck.

Just my 3 cents,
The best way to upload the folder and the PHP file to GoDaddy (or any other server) is to use an FTP software. GoDaddy recommend File Zilla and they have a little tutorial how to use it. I use GoDaddy as well

Jo Ann,
Of course that's what I meant, DirectFTP, DirectFTP. I had a beer or two when I typed the previous post and I had to hit the wrong keys :|
