One of our users would like to develop a process for using an RSForm!Pro form to automatically update an article, so that less skilled users don't need to pore through HTML code to change bits of the code. The user has created a password-protected form that takes input data and constructs the HTML code for the article content, which is stored in a hidden field. The goals is to map this field into a specific existing article, replacing the article text with the contents of the field.

The user has looked at the mapping documentation but wants to ensure that the mapping does not affect unwanted areas of the website. Would the following be the correct settings and process?

* Connection type: local
* Method: update
* Database table: ygrb-content (the mapping documentation refers to jos-content, but this isn't an option with the user's version of Joomla)
* id(int unsigned): article id (NOT item ID)
* fulltext (mediumtext): the field holding the HTML code

Thank you for any help you can provide! VERSIONS: RSForm!Pro version 1.4.0; Joomla! 1.5.26
