Thanks to Tim I found the config file for creating more "templates", but is there any documentation tied to how one goes about creating those templates? Or better yet a way to create a form in the gui interface and then pull "the guts" of it into XML?

I have a drop down with pre-populated values.........all the US states, not something I want to have to enter over again.

Thanks

Hi Dan,

You could create a prevalue source (with all states) that you can reuse on all your forms.

Tim,

I tried added a prevalue data source and got all the way to "Create Form" and using the drop down option, it fails and returns the following error. I'm thinking this is a bug.

Server Error in '/' Application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
