It looks to me like you are frustrated by the way FormBuilder works. I can only suggest you to use QuickForm directly, it will be more flexible and probably fill all your needs (well, it does for me, and I have been recently working on tough multi-steps/multi-options subscription forms). FormBuilder is aimed at rapid prototyping (thanks to DB_DO and QF) but also allow some nice customizations that are more than enough for most users. But if you need more complex stuffs, I think going directly with QF is more appropriate. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
