Retrieve Your Databases with a Click

The Form

Here is the form, in a bare web page, to use when having the database emailed to you:

<html>

<body>

<form 

   action="http://example.com/cgi-bin/mf/MasterFormV4.cgi" 

   method="POST">

<input 

   type="hidden" 

   name="redirect" 

   value="http://example.com">

<input 

   type="hidden" 

   name="emailtemplate" 

   value="templates/filesend.txt">

<input 

   value="Retrieve file feedback.csv" 

   type="submit">

</form>

</body>

</html>

That's the simplicity of it.

The form's action needs to be the URL to your installation of Master Form V4.

The hidden name="redirect" field value needs to be changed to the URL of the page you want to see after the form is submitted.

Save the form to your hard drive, maybe on your desktop.

Wherever you want the latest version of the database sent to yourself, open the file in your web-browser and click the button.

Master Form V4 takes care of the rest.
