Entering data to a form on the web

Hi all

I need to publish a form on a site where people register for seminars. When the form is filled with info, a confirmation window with all info in it is shown. The person registering click OK or cancel. This should generate a record in a FileMaker file. Can anyone explain how to do this?

I've been searching for this answer but can't find it, only a lot about publishing an entire database for remote access.

Regards /U

You will need to POST the html Form to the database, using the IP address and the Port the database is "listening" on.

The FM 8 Server Advanced "Custom Web Publishing Guide" should have some details on how to do this. (I assume that you have FM 8 Server Advanced.)

You can use some Javascript to create a pop-up with the details for confirmation before submitting to the database.

All the best.

Garry
