NERDY.BIZ This is a fantastic little tool for webmasters. $30 is a drop in the bucket compared to the time and effort this will save you if you need to create custom web forms with any given frequency. For me, this little app has already paid for itself with its first use. Just to make clear - it does not actually create the html form itself. You need to be html savvy enough to write the form it will use a the front end. What this program does is take your form and deal with all the behind scenes dirty work in a very fast and efficient way. I have one particular client that stages various events and each event needs a custom registration form that suits the requirements of particular event. In the past it would have taken me roughly an hour to get a moderately complex custom web form set up for them with proper validation, recaptcha, mysql data dump, etc. Now I just create my form layout in Coda or TextMate exactly to the client's specifications, run it through Forms to Go, and I have a fully validated form complete with a data dump and way for my non-technical clients to view the data online in less than 20 minutes. I only have two gripes and they tend to be relatively minor (at least to me): Perhaps a more friendly one-window wizard type interface similar to ForeverSave would be better than the piecemeal menu driven setup which tends to be a bit clunky at first. Honestly, however, once you run through it once this becomes a very minor grievance. Second - Clicking "User's Guide" in the help menu does not take you anywhere. The Quick Start guide does work properly, but does not provide near enough detail for a geek like me. I did hunt down the help pages online, but somewhat ironically, the topics I actually wanted to research (How it works, Validation options) did not display due to php errors. For anyone who is savvy enough to be building web forms this may not be a big deal. It certainly did not impede my ability to use the software and get value out of it. I just like for my help documentation to actually be there if/when I need it. Those minor issues aside, this is a very good utility that will save you lots of time and trouble if you ever have to deal with a custom web form! | |

JFRYAR It's a great application. Too bad you have to pay $15 every year to upgrade. Guess I'll stick with my old version. (Version 4.3.1) | |

PROGRAMHAPPY Does 4.2.3 fix the phantom attachments problem? "I'm having an odd problem. Every email that I received displays the paperclip icon, whether or not there is actually an attachment. If there is actually an attachment, it comes through fine. If there isn't actually an attachment, the paperclip icon simply disappears upon selecting the message. How can I fix it so that the only emails that display the paperclip icon are the emails that actually do have an attachment?" ------------------------ (Version 4.2.3) | |

GFARESE Version 4.2.3 fixes a problem when processing HTML forms which contained spaces or other invalid characters in the field names. Version 4.2.4 fixed a problem introduced in 4.2.3 that could not process HTML forms which contained extended characters. Regarding the phantom file attach, please leave a message in our tech support help desk to make sure that bug is reported with the detailed information so it can be fixed. | |

KUPHD Forms To Go has to be the best software I've ever purchased. It makes creating email forms super easy. No need to learn coding with this app. Open your HTML form, a few clicks and you're ready to go. And now it's even got CAPTCHA! (Version 4.2.2) | |

HUCKLEBERRY I've been using Forms 2 Go for a few months now, and this is an extremely staightforward, easy to use robust little program that quickly and concisely creates PHP, Perl, and ASP scripts, including Data dumping into Databases. I was a total PHP MySQL idiot, but this program has helped me grasp the language through handy notes in the script. Any problem encountered, which was always to result of my PHP/MySQL ignorance, was quickly and easily solved by the online forum and customer support. In fact, I was pushing the limits of the application, and looking to do something that it could not, and the Customer Support service took my question head on, 1 to 1, and created the script I needed, all while gracefully putting up with my ignorant questioning! They may have had some Customer Support issues in the past, but these have been fully resolved. Responses on Forums were very quick and extremely helpful. Outstanding service, outstanding program. I would fully recommend to any business, Newbie, Oldie, Seasoned....Everybody. Thanks Forms to Go! Their Support service is 2nd to none, including Disney. (Version 4.0.3) | |

ROSA33 Your client told you he needs a form to process info on the website and you don't know programming, this little app will work as a brain for you, doing the job of programming on PHP (ASP or Perl), saving you time on your work and resolving those issue about forms. It is so great. (Version 2.6.8) | |

ANDREW Incredible piece of software! Costs very little for what it is. Perfect to use, very stable.. scripts work EVERY TIME! I bought it and was blown away with the features it gives. Has payed itself back with the first script i made with it for a clients website. Absolute perfection. Well done, keep it up. (Version 2.6.5) | |

TORYALAI HART I have spent countless days trying to get all kinds of formmail.cgi .pl scripts to work and never with any success. I went through hundreds of pages of advise on the web... I downloaded this application, made a quick form, ran the program, uploaded my files, tested the form and got an email withthe form data... on the first try! Thank you Bebosoft. (Version 2.6.5) | |

R FTG is or could be a great program but the one thing that is troubling about it is the lack of timely support. Support emails can tske anwhere fro 1 week to 1 month to be replied to. The basic issue the program has is in inserting values in a mYSQL table - basically I have never been able to get this option to work and I've owned the program for over a year now. My advice for the developer is to produce a better help section and to return support emails daily. R Thornton (Version 2.6.1) | |

GIUSEPPE FARESE Thanks for your feedback. We've been improving our support response time for tech support requests in the last months. We added new tools for our help desk, included and trained new specialists and still working hard to answer on the same day. 80% of the request are answered the same day, while the other 20% goes in a 1-3 days time frame. We're planning to add telephone support in the near future. (Version 2.6.3) | |
