Hi there,

I have this large form I am working on where the client needs to fill in the data every day.

Some days are different to the next and was wondering if there is a way to select a previous day or previous data stored to the db to re-populate a form.

This form has about 100 + fields to fill in. If the form includes roughly the same info daily and then different info on the weekend; then if they could recall previous entries that's be great.

Like say a drop down that give them the option of choosing the last day or so entries?

If not, I guess I could have severla versions of the form that they might use regularly and be already pre-populated with values that they just need to edit.

Thoughts?

Hi Dan,

If you use Form Master 2008 you can save data to database table
and hence can get the data back from database table using its id.
So you can do it like this,
You can have your original form autofilll data from database table by passing the id in the url query,
Created a simple form which have a dropdownlist with text filled with date (i guess you have a date field in your fields)
and value field with the unique id of the table, on submit you have this form redirect to the original form with the id in the url query.

Let me know if you have any problem.

Thanks & Regards,
Sujay
