Multi layered options help

First off let me say, I have no programing exp. (we have not purchased the form builder yet)
We are currently looking for a viable option to work with in the following example.

first page, would be the customer information.. click here to continue to page 2
on the subsequent multi pages of the form it would have -

"select here ( radio button option ) for the desired option Each area would have a Header with at least 3 options to choose from.

(options would be displaced on the html page itself, so the person can read them, and also in the "if clicked" portion of the form so it would post it as well in the email once it's all done and then sent.)

Now, the questions are:

1. How can we make a 6 page form with out making seperate forms for each page. (and is it explained well from with in the program) we want a seamless flow from one page / topic to the next and then post at the end the results, and then email a copy of the results to the church staff email.

2. Using the form builder will it or post the information they selected on an output page in html so the customer can read thru their desire options before they click the "send the form button"?

3. Does the program have with it's setup an option to "pull the info" from a doc file or txt file to save on typing a large amount of txt into the "if yes" , result = yada yada yada ..... as well as the html page itself that's showing to the customer? ie, if yes read/post info.txt info1, info2 ect.

I look forward to the answers to this one, Again, we do not have any PHP or other "fancy database things". Our church is useing basic HTML for the site and we are looking for an easy way to make a form work for all who use it as well as those who receive the email.

The form builder can't do multi-page forms yet. But you can use conditionals to hide and show content based on choices. This then would all be submitted as one. The form builder has mysql and csv file capability built in as far as saving the data. It will be up to you to implement the scripts to display it the way you want.:) The user of the form only has the form itself for checking inputs. The form builder does have a lot of validation that you can setup for each type of input to make sure the user is putting in the correct type. One of the really powerful types is Reg expressions. Take the trial version for a test drive.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I can see three possibilities.
1. Use web pages to get a series of selections finally landing on a suitable form. Logic is to determine how many paths that could be chosen with one form at the end of a selection procedure path. There could be many forms but only one per logical path.

2. Limesurvey or other survey software would probably do what you want. Learning curve steeper than the form builder

3. Use the HTML editor it has form elements ready to insert, it would require some scripting knowledge. Not difficult but would require study
