Thanks for those 2 suggestions. I have found 10 more possibilities more naively - here is a list including your 2 (FormBuilder solo and FormBuilder via Catalyst). As you can imagine, this is rather confusing for a beginner. I could, of course, read through the documentation of each one and try to make an educated guess as to which one is best/easiest for me. But from bitter experience, I know that the one that is best used/sounds best may not be the one that is currently recognised as the "one to use". It would be really useful if anyone can tell me at least which of these are not suitable?
