It has to be there. Your form cannot function without it. ;)

THANKS FOR INFO! So the file is local and not on my server? I had no clue editing a form reply was this hard. I just need to change the reply ok without having to be a programing guru.

My PRESENT form works but the auto reply needs to be changed with different text that is all.

I can open php or xml or whatever on my server........but why do I need to do these changes in coffee cup?

you don't need to make those changes in coffee cup, just realize that if you make these changes you'll be settling for always making changes outside the software as you're already aware that if you change it inside the software it will overwrite your external changes. The software doesn't import changes made externally. Other than that you can edit anything you want, just watch out so you don't break your form and you should be fine :)

It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

is a coffee cup form etc..................

I wish to just open the php or xml or whatever file on my server and edit the reply from one verbage to another.

I am a registered user and bought the software and I am just looking for an easier way not to have to remove all reference to coffee cup software from my form.

Simple question what file does the app Web Form Builder that houses the email auto reply feature live in on my server so I may change just the reply?



*Pokes Eric* Tag you're it! :P

I opened the myformname.php in DW 6 and edited in code view that one line of text I needed to change and it works perfect now.

Thanks
