I've not tried making a form for some time - well, YEARS.
I've made the form & it'll show up on a preview. How do I get the HTML code to manually add to my website?

Which program did you use to make your website? The method of adding your form will depend on that.

I'm still in the stone-age using VSD. I'm able to understand it. I just thought I'd be able to get the code & manually add it.

Oooh, I haven't seen VSD at close range for some 12-13 years... Hopefully, someone else here can advise you.

But VSD has been 'retired' and beyond support for quite some time. You will not be able to modernize your site with it, such as making it mobile-friendly e.g. If you decide to leave the stone age and come into the current century, ;) you will get all the help you need to learn your way around Site Designer.

When you make your form in the Form Builder, select Manual Export. The form builder will provide you with the code you need to include the form in your webpage on your site. Then upload the files to your site.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thank you, Eric. But where do I find the code, Eric? I can preview it: file:///C:/Users/Owner/AppData/Local/Temp/FormBuilder/preview.html
"Manual Server Setup" that's under File; Export?

I'm using Web Form Builder 2.9 that i purchased. I just do not understand why I'm having such a difficult time in getting the html code.

Hello
As Eric says
when you have set up your form
go to "File"
Then down to "Export"
Choose "Manual Server Setup"

You will then be presented with a pop up

It shows the html code and instructs you to copy & paste the code into whichever page you want it to appear on (with a HTML element on that page) you select the HTML element & paste

You then need to put the folders required to make the form work, into the root of your website
