    Ok... I made my wonderful form but because I have no understanding of code I am not sure how I create a link that I can give to my client in an email to access the form.

    When I go into the form manager I see info re code but am not sure what to do and where to put it and which to use. So sorry to be so lame here! As I said before, even reading other posts makes no sense to me.

    The other thing I would like to do is insert my logo. I am not sure what the paramaters are for this, ie size of file, type of file???

    Thanks so much for helping me with this! Your product rocks and I look forward to figuring this all out!

    I see the "simple" link which I put into a browser to see if I would get the form but it says that the link is broken.

  3. Link to the Form

    Create a normal hyperlink in your web page or email and add the link URL as:

    http://www.yoursite.com/machform/index.php?form_id=28

    TO add this as a hyperlink to a web page, copy and paste the Embed Code (Basic link) to the "code view" (or HTML View) of your web page (if using an editor like Expression Web or Frontpage).

    The full basic link code would be something like this:

    <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/machform/index.php?form_id=27">Click here to view form</a>

    You've said in your original question the link is broken, but it sounds like you're trying to copy the wrong address into the browser address bar or something - make sure you only copy (or type in) the full address:

    http://www.yoursite.com/machform/index.php?form_id=28

    Adding Logo to the Form

    Putting a logo on the form is easy enough - all you need to do is add the HTML code for an image, as follows:

    <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/your_logo.gif">

    Add this to the "Form Title" section when you edit the form.

    There's nothing in Machform limiting the type of image you can use, this is generally limited by the types of images used on the web - PNG, GIF and JPEG.

    Size of file is not limited by Machform - rule of thumb for web design applies here - image files need to be the minimal size possible - balance between quality and file size (in terms of kilobytes, not dimensions).

    If the logo comprises of a photo or full colour image, use PNG or JPEG, if it has limited colour (up to 256 which is not suitable for photos) use GIF format.

    Other than that there's no limitation in respect of images you can use.
