[thelist] PDF validation routines

Hi Kim,

I'm not sure about the validation, or OnPrint event, but I can maybe
help with this...

In the properties of your submit button, go in to "Actions". For "Mouse
Up", add action "Submit Form". Select the URL, and choose the HTML Form
(URL encoded) option. You can also choose which fields are submitted.
When pressed, this button will then send the contents of your form to
the URL you've specified over HTTP, exactly like a HTML form would. Your
URL needs to be a program which can then deal with the fields as you
want.

HTH,
Katherine
