how to keep form fields information?

[Guest]

Hi,
I've validated all the fields in my form, and have no validation error page
set in form properties, but still the information already entered in the form
disappears when you go back to the form. How do I keep it there for users to
continue?
Thanks

OK, I see I have to click Back and not Return to Form and then the info is
still there. But can I change the default error page to remove the 'return to
form' and add my own message to say 'click on back'?
thanks

Do use an error page, use form field validation.

Yes, you can add your own error page. In the form properties specify it
under the "Confirmation Page" tab where you would put your custom "thank
you" page URL........there's a field for the error page - same idea.

However it would be better using field validation which won't let the user
submit the form until they have filled in everything correctly. An "alert
box" pops up giving details of the erroneous input such as "Phone field
requires numbers only" or "The name field and email field are required.
Please enter your details in these fields"
