I am trying to work out how to add forms that are saved to a database in Umbraco.

Is there any help on this?

e.g A user fills out a form on the website and then the form is saved somewhere inside Umbraco for future reference. The Umbraco user needs to be able to search through the forms easily as there may be 1000’s of forms. Is this possible?

In the package repository (rightclick the macro node -> choose 'import macro') there is a package called UmbracoUtilities - in that package you'll find AutoForms, which can do what you're looking for...

Niels has made a small screencast, which shows how to use AutoForms, it is (well hidden) here:

If there are going to be 1000's of replies, then you might consider just building a usercontrol for adding the data to the database, and then build another usercontrol to display the data on the dashboard. Especially if you need advanced search and so on?
