Exact Forms
Hello, I am following the exact form guide on the Quickbase help page but I am running into an issue. As directed, on the word document I put all my field id#s in tildes but Quickbase is not picking ...

I have a simple form built this way and it's working fine for me. Is this the way you're entering them on your template?:
Output:
Note that you can use the field name as well as I have here.

This is my input from the word doc that has been linked to my QB table. I used both the name and the FID# to see if it was a field formatting issue.
And this is the output in an Iframe.

I output mine with a URL button, perhaps give this a try:
URL Formula button:
URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dbpage&pagename=" & URLEncode("YOUREXACTFORMPAGE.html") & "&clist=a&rid=" & [Record ID#]

Yeah, I have been switching between the button and the Iframe view. Neither seems to be successful, unfortunately. I will see if I can meet with Kirk Tracey during his office hours tomorrow as he has a couple of videos on the topic. I appreciate the help though and I will report back to this thread with some solutions.

I hear that there *may* be some changes coming to exact forms, possibly announced at Empower here in a month...
