Can free form post to the channel_data table along with posting to the free form tables. I want to have people fill out a web form but also post to channel data table where I will have a editor approve an entry in the channel data form.
Thanks,
Bart

Why not set up a SafeCracker form alongside the Freeform form, and have them both submit with the same submit button using JavaScript/jQuery?

Ah, I just realized you wanted the same fields for both forms, right?
In that case, use two forms like I just suggested, but hide the Freeform form (either the whole form or by using hidden fields) and have jQuery copy all the entered data from the SafeCracker fields to the Freeform fields before first submitting one form and then the other.

Ok thanks I will give that a try.
