4.7 USING A DATABASE
You must have a database with the appropriate categories prepared in order to save the information gathered
from the form. MEW can build a database for you and instantly connect these fields to the database.
Follow these steps to instantly create and link the database:
Step 1: Right-click on the form, select Form Properties from the popup menu. The Form Properties dialog
box is displayed.
Step 2: You have the following options available:
a. You can select ‘Send to’ option to send all data collected from the form to a file and provide an
email address where the file will be emailed.
b. You can also choose ‘Send to database’ option so that the data is collected in an Access file.
When you choose this option, you will be asked to create a database in which the form fields are
automatically mapped from form to database.
The form is now prepared, but in order for it to function, you must submit it to a server. You can access the
website by using the published URL after publishing is complete.
