Ok, now I see where you're coming from!
The "forms" discussed in this newsgroup, are the forms that are used in the
Microsoft Access database product. They are nothing to do with HTML forms.
Someone here might be the world's best expert in Access forms, but never
have heard of HTML, at all.
Good luck :-)
