Trying to develop a form on our website that when populated and submitted will add a new record to QB.

Can get to the form and create a record but no data is saved to the fields.

Here is an example of what we are using.  

Anything off hand that you see is causing this problem?

<form name="qdbform" method="POST" encType="multipart/form-data" action="https://quickbase.corp.com/db/bp2na9h30?a=API_AddRecord&apptoken=123thiaofj456">                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
Field 1: <input type="text" name="_fid_6" id="_fid_6"><br>
  Field 2: <input type="text" name="_fid_7" id="_fid_7" ><br>
  Field 3:<input type="text" name="_fid_8" id="_fid_8"><br><br>

I'm not sure you can do it via HTML like that. For one thing the URL you are trying to use is not going to work. I assume you switched that out for posting to the forum though.

https://help.quickbase.com/api-guide/add_record.html

You can check Stack Overflow to see how you can intercept your form data and build the xml before submitting it. There might even be an easier way but I found this. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2088862/how-to-post-xml-to-server-thru-html-form

If you want it to post via a URL you are going to need to follow the URL example from the first link above.
