Do I need to learn web programming (HTML) in
order to build a registration form?
No. EasyREG provides a unique registration form building tool
called "Build a Form". You need to know no HTML or web programming
skills to use the tool. The only thing that you need is a list of
all the facts that you need to collect for each of your registration
events. You can build a form in under 10 minutes!.

What does it mean when on submission I get an
error message that I am using a reserved word?
EasyREG has some reserved words that you cannot use in your
forms as a named/value pair because we use them for other purposes.
Simply rename the form field name to another name and your form will
work fine. The reserved words are:
-
EVENT (a hidden field)
-
REG_ID
-
SUBMITTED_DATE
-
STATUS
-
STATUSDATE
-
FIRSTNAME (already in your form by default)
-
LASTNAME (already in your form by default)
-
EMAIL (already in your form by default)
-
HOMEPHONE (already in your form by default)

I don't have a web site ... can I still setup
online registration for an event?
Yes you can. When you sign up with EasyREG we give you a tool to
build your own forms. The forms will reside on our site and you can
simply send out emails inviting people to click on a link to
register for your event.

Can I export my data into any database?
EasyREG creates a tab delimited file with each entry taking up one
line and each value being separated by a tab. Although each
database tool differs, in general you can import this file into any
database that you like.

Will the broadcast tool send duplicate emails if
the email appears more then once in the list of addresses that I
wish to send to?
The broadcast tool has two modes of operation, sending to multiple
events and sending to multiple states (Pending, Approved, Paid,
Held) within a single event. If you are broadcasting to multiple
events there is no duplication of email messages. If you are
sending to a single event (i.e.: all the approved people who have
not yet paid), then yes, if a person registered more then once (same
email address for 2 children in one family) they would receive more
then one email.

Can you change the fonts in the email that you
send out (bold, italics, underlining)?
No. The broadcast tool sends straight text messages. You can
insert hyperlinks into the messages by placing the full address
(i.e.:
http://youraddresshere) into the broadcast message box.

When my registrants try to pay via Paypal they
get a "This site contains secure and insecure data ..." message.
Can I turn this off?
Yes you can. This message usually pops up if you have
customized your payment pages within Paypal using links for colors,
backgrounds, or images that do not reside on the Paypal site. Go
into Paypal and click on Profile -> Custom Payment Pages (under
Selling Preferences column). Choose Paypal as your Primary payment
page and these pop up warning boxes should go away.

Can I reuse an old form that I created for another EasyREG
event and if so what do I need to do to get it to work with my new
event?
Absolutely! In fact this is a very easy way to create new
forms for new events. First modify the form to get all the correct
form fields that you would like to use for this new event. Now view
the form's HTML code and where it says:
<input type=hidden name=event value="your
event #">
simply place in the new event's # for this event and your are
ready to go! To find the event # click on the Edit Settings link
off of your main page and you fill find the
Event ID listed in green near the top of the box.
As always be sure to test out your form.

How do I delete
a registration?
Deleting a registration is a two step process. First
change the state of the event from whatever it currently is
(Pending, Approved, or Paid) into the Held state. Once in the
Held state you will see the option to delete the registration.
Remember, once deleted a registration cannot be brought back ... all
data is deleted completely.
