Passing single values from a form
The recordset filter, if it relates to a single form element, can be set in the simple Recordset dialog box. More
sophisticated filters, which depend on values received from multiple form elements, must be created in the
advanced Recordset dialog box. To set up a form to send user selections to a master page or other Web
application, follow these steps:
1. Create a static HTML page (File ??? New) and choose Insert ??? Form ??? Form or drag an Insert
Form icon onto the page from the Forms tab of the Insert bar.
2. Add the desired input form elements into the form by selecting them from the Insert ??? Form
Objects submenu or from the Insert bar.
3. Be sure to name each form element appropriately and uniquely. You need to recall this name
when you??™re building your application page.
It??™s best to adopt a naming strategy that you can use over and over again.
