Form Validation Forum :: Form, Email no database

I want to create a forma and have the results emailed.  Without a database connection.  This customer has a basic hosting account without a database.   Is there a way to do it with MX Kollection 3?

Thanks

Hi Janice,

I assume you are using the Custom Form Wizard. If you are, the reason for the need to access a database is described in the "How to" section under "How to send form content by e-mail (without using a database)".

The explanation of the need for the database is a little vague IMHO. Below is the reason given. "Although a database table is not required to accomplish the goals of this tutorial, you must define a database connection within your site. This is not used to store data, but to allow the recovery of submitted form data when an error occurs......"

I do not uderstand why the heading includes "without using a database" when clearly you still need to use a database. ??

I realize that this does not help your customer without DB access but at least you won't waste time searching for an answer.

Regards, Rob

Hello

You can set up a remote DB Connection to of you DB. The DB Connection is not realy used for sending emails.
