Bill,
Thanks for the response. Yes, from reading the documentation, I am presuming that you are correct. I will be testing a small simple form that I've created in CCWFB to see if there are any oddities that surface. However, I came upon a post in the CCWFB user forum from someone attempting to use one of the forms he had created in CCWFB with Form Tools, and he was having issues getting it linked. That is what prompted me to post here, to see if anyone has direct experience with using CCWFB created forms and Form Tools. I've also posted in that CCWFB forum to see if there was a resolution to his issue.
One question I have is that during form design/creation, I can set my CCWFB form to either direct its collected data to a CSV file on my web server upon submission, OR direct that output into a MySQL database I've created on the server. Since Form Tools is obviously capturing the data from a form, creating its own tables inside the designated MySQL database (upon first submission of the form), and then placing data into that database each time the form is submitted, I would presume my best course of action will be to not use CCWFB's MySQL output option in the initial form creation process. I'm wondering if that will hold true for the "output to CSV" option (that I should not use it either).
