Instead of changing the HTML code in the add_form subroutine and then invoking db.cgi with a parm &add_form=1, I would like instead to leave that HTML code undisturbed and write my own HTML form, like I do with searches.

Can I write my own HTML form and keep it external to html.pl and have the form action take it to db.cgi using the parm &add_record=1?

The documentation doesn't say this will work but I have an intuition that it might.

Can someone confirm this for me?

Thanks ... Sam
