I have 2 questions.
1. I created web pages and these pages are not nice. I tried to make a little nicer but I cannot find the way. How can I modify my form?
2. Where can I find my web page html, css and ajax script? Can I modify?

all files are stored in the O4W subdirectory and can be modified there.

I searched O4W directories. There are only .js .css files which RevSoft provided. I couldn't find my menu and form html files. That means I can't modify my form.

There are a series of files within OI called for example
O4WMENUS
O4WMESSAGES
etc
Look in there.

As the Sprezz folks have indicated, the information used to generate an O4W form is stored in the O4WINQUIRY table, and the information used to generate an O4W menu is stored in the O4WMENUS table. The records in these tables describe the form and menu, which is then built dynamically by O4W when the page (or menu) is requested. There is no pre-built html or javascript that you can extract to modify, other than whatever you choose to create as a "template" (into which the dynamically generated content is inserted).
Once you have created an O4W form, you can choose to do some modification of its layout using the "Modify Layout" tool. If that still does not provide the level of control over the form design that you're looking for, you might choose to use the O4W APIs in a basic+ stored procedure to generate a completely custom form.
Hope that helps,

Thank you Bryan. It is quite clear now.

My approach to O4W development has been to use a BASIC+ stored procedure with the O4W API calls as opposed to using the Form Wizard. I've found the result of using the combination of the O4W APIs, jquery plugins, and using CSS to enhance your style.css can produce the type of web pages you may be looking for. See our product website (www.sportspak.net), click on Screenshots (top of home page)for our Sportspak.Online product for a few examples. I've been very pleased with O4W as a web development tool.
