Form Master 2008 Stores data as XML Fragments by default in a single Table Column. While convenient and easy to manage, this make it difficult for other applications to access the collected data. Form Master 2008 introduces the ability to store data in Standard Microsoft® SQL Server® Tables. Form Master 2008 offers three methods to help Map Form Fields to Standard SQL Tables as noted below.

Note: Data Manager is available for Super Users and users in the Administrators Role only.

• Map an Existing Form to an Existing Table
• Create a SQL Table From a Form
• Create a Form From an SQL Table

When Forms are Mapped to an SQL Table, Form Master 2008 will continue to store the data in XML Fragments as a backup. This gives the user the ability to restore the data to a SQL Table by re-mapping the form.
