[ic] Creating new forms

Well, what method depends on what database you are using. You might
start by
looking at "Managing DBM Databases" in the Interchange Databases guide
for
info on creating a new database.

As far as using the form to update the data, I use a [query] tag to
accomplish something simillar on my site (a contest). A simpler option
would
be to use "mv_data_*" form parameters to cause the database update. Look
in
the template guid under "Updating Interchange Database Tables with a
Form".
Also, if complex validation is desired, you could use an order profile
(look
at the account.html in the Foundation demo for an example of this).

I'm sure there's even more ways to do this. You might even be happier
using
a formmail script or equivalent if you don't need database
functionality.

Thanks a lot JT.

 I do not have to do any complex checking so I think I will be safe
using mv_** things.

 Once agin thanks a lot.
