I want to create a form for product registration and download. I already have a form in place that accepts user details such as name and email address. Now I want to create another form that accepts only an email address to check if the user is already registered. If that email address exists in the gravity form database, the user is directed to the downloads page. Is that possible? Note that the downloads page should not be accessible directly unless the user checks that he/she is already registered.

Registration Form

You could do this, but you would have to write custom validation that checks to see if the email already exists. If it does exist then it submits the form and redirects where you want it to go. If it doesn't exist, then it would throw a validation error. So it's kind of a reverse validation. Usually you are checking to see if something doesn't exist.
There is a tutorial that explains how to use the gform_validation field here:
http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Using_the_Gravity_Forms_%22gform_validation%22_Hook
But ultimately you'd have to write custom code that uses this hook to handle the validation the way you want to do it OR you would have to hire a developer to implement this type of customization for you.
