    Hey Steve, great topic and presentation. I've known about Google Forms for several years and have toyed with the concept, but never really built anything of consequence. Forms is a great little app and can be very useful. I have Google Sheet Workbook consisting of 1850+ lines, 22 columns, and about 20 or so sheets that I've been populating for about a year and a half and would love to do the work thru a form. Of course I don't want to rebuild the sheet from scratch, that would be very counter productive. My other option would be to convert the Workbook to a database of some sort like MS Access, which I have very minimal experience with, and my time is running short for another huge learning curve. I'm pretty sure Google hasn't yet released a database application for use with Google Apps. If it has and would work in my case, I stand corrected and would love to hear about it. My question is, can a form be 'reverse engineered' from an existing spreadsheet?

My Son actually has built some for his friends). Anyway, I only have a phone, and a Tablet....The Phone is Android, the Tablet is iOS. I do have 20+ Google Apps on my Apple tablet, which somehow sync with my phone. Or vice versa ? Unfortunately, when I watch any tutorials that require, a computer, or are demonstrated via a computer, I am totally lost ! Is there any way I could just receive notifications which apply to only phones or tablets ? OR....of course I can simply wait for the tutorials that will work for me !🙄 I'll be happy either way 🙂 Just thought I'd ask. 😏 Sincerely, JaneLee 🧓 ^_^ A new subscriber as of yesterday ! 😊 Have a Great Wednesday 🤗 🌄.

    Thanks Steve! Quick question: i tested it with a new client, asking basic demo info, and a quick checklist of concerns. She sent it back, but I can't find it--i want to put it in her file and get rid of paper forms. Also, when i tested this myself, i sent it back from another email, and again, I can't find it. Lol where are these forms going?
