Yes you set up the form yourself with the fields for data you want entered. You
get started by using insert / Form / and pick say a one line text field. This
creates the beginning of a form.
Right click on the field in the form and name it the name you want for the
record in your database (dont use any spaces)
Repeat for each field you want someone to enter data for. You may want to clean
up how your form looks by using some tables to organize the entries.
When you have the form ready, follow the comments above -- right click on the
form / properties /send to database/options/create database ---- the wizard will
wind up putting your database in the fpdb folder. That's a good thing.
Then on a different page do Insert / database results and follow the wiz down
the yellow brick road to create a page that shows the results in the database.
Again, use tables to organized it to look nice.
Frontpage was *made* to do the job you want.
