[FX.php List] Newbie: Making a form

[AC]

That should work.
See if you can pull data from the database, if you can then I assume 
the account / password doesn't have write access or the fields 
"FirstName" and "LastName" are not on the "Musicians_Web" layout.
If you can't pull data then verify that you have XML access enabled for 
the account / password with which you're connecting.

If all that still doesn't work then download an example file from 
FMWebSchool at;
