You posted directly on new years day. We took an extended weekend for new years to spend some time with family before starting a new year of CB well rested. I apologize for the delay, but even we need some down time now and again.Hm. I understand there was a holiday but still haven't received a response? I upgraded to the "Professional" level but was getting faster response with the "Advanced" level? Am I missing something? Do I need to go back to the Advanced level to post questions? I'm confused as it has never taken this long to get a response on the "Advanced" forum and I posted on this forum a few days ago?

Your issue is you're trying to cram so much data into a single table row...
I would recommend using CB Blogs to store and display this information so it's stored in Joomlas content tables and won't negatively impact your CB table row size limits. The alternative suggestion was to use a 3rd party form extension then just pull the results of that form extension into CB using a CB Query Field. This splits the storage demands up and improves performance.
I have looked at some 3rd party form extensions, blog and article options. With the form options, I see how I can create a form that you can have an end user fill out and then send the results in an email to the administrator. I really don't want the data sent in an email, though. When the end user clicks a "save" button, I just want the data to be saved to the users record and displayed so that other users with whom they have a CB "Connection" can read the results. Any suggestions for Form plugins or am I more likely to get the result I want with a blog or article option I describe below?
I also thought there might be a way to use CB Blogs or CB Articles options but I am not trying to set up a blogging site. I want the end user to write about specific topics- or categories. I can set up categories for articles for the various topics- i.e. "Childhood," "Teens," etc, but can't figure out a way for a "blank" article to show up on it's own tab? Maybe I am missing something or it isn't possible? Since it doesn't seem possible to use the Text Edit Area fields as blog or article posts, is there a way to use a blank blog or article on a tab so it is similar to a Text Edit Area field that the end user could fill in and save to their own record in the Edit page and then have it display on the Read page? I would prefer the article display on it's own tab rather than just a link to an article??
Is any of this possible?
As always, I do appreciate your feedback, advise and help.
