Russell,
what does the message "Warning, switching to easy mode from advanced mode will simply reset all your current form's events set." mean? The documentation around Chronoforms is rather scarce. I normally use IE and when I switch from easy to advanced IE turns on the compatability mode.

Just to give you a chuckle, at the bottom of one of the pdf tutorials, the writer wrote, "I wish that was helpful!"

If you want to build a simple "Form Mail" type of script (i.e. accept an entry and then mail the results to a couple of addresses), then the Easy Mode will provide a template structure for the form actions that will give you all you need.

But if your application is more complex than that, (e.g. you need to get data from somewhere, do some PHP processing, store data somewhere, customise emails in some non-trivial way) then you want the Advanced Mode, so you can assemble the form actions yourself from the actions palette.

So if you've been building a form in Advanced Mode and then you just decide to switch to Easy Mode, the actions you had assembled will be cleared and the Easy template actions will replace them. ... you've been warned.

Having said that, there are a number of ways to skin that cat.:

• All the actions in the set of Easy Mode actions are also available in the actions palette (plus lots more), so you can just drag them into your form in Advanced mode. If you forget which ones to use (that's pretty easy, CF has a lot of actions in the palette), you can start an empty form in Easy mode and use its actions as a guide to building your current form in Advanced mode.
• You can use the backup option to save your form before you change mode. That way you won't lose any of your work.

As far as ChronoForms documentation is concerned, the key resources are:

MooTools
FormCheck class
