Asking your Question might help you get help faster. Very generic subjects usually are passed over until other questions have been answered.

Anyway, what are you doing with this form? Is it some type of Flash you are working with (since you posted in the Multimedia forum)?

Otherwise, do you have a database set up to capture the data and then do you have the code to display the data? It seems like you are working with PHP code? WebForumz might be able to help you with your PHP code.

How do you do what? I asked you if you were using PHP / mysql or how were you processing the form?

To set up a database, you first contact your hosting company to see what databases they support.

Then you need to know a server side language to communicate with that database.
