    as can tate entry form by post from the maximum number of post by author.
    There is an option to limit entries by form but you can apply this to the author.?

    You can't limit the number of entries per author. You can however set the email field to "no duplicates" so each email address can only be used once. That will prevent duplicate entries fro the same email address.

    I want a single entry per member and using email address as unique is acceptable. If the person has already entered partial information and needs to update the record, how do I get GF to load that partial information into the form?
    Thanks.

    If the user has already submitted their entry, they can't update it. Gravity Forms created entries, but only Admins can edit/update an Entry by accessing the Admin. Currently a form can't update existing form data.

    OK.
    I'm going to assume that my member has only one records/form of information.

    If i were to add the capability to get the record from the table and if found populate the form, where would i put that piece of code?

    Then if i were then to replace the data, where would i put that code?

    You would use Gravity Forms hooks/filters to pre-populate the form AND then properly update the information rather than creating new information. This is all possible with our hooks/filters if you have WordPress and PHP development know how.

    The code for this would go in your themes Functions.php file, you wouldn't edit the Gravity Forms plugin itself.

    We will be launching complete developer documentation documenting all of our available hooks and filters by the end of next week.

    Yes, that makes sense. I'll sit tight until you have released the hooks documentation. Looking forward to it next week.
    Thank you kindly.
