 * Hi — I am wondering if there is a way to display a table from form data entered
   by multiple visitors (such as data held in Contact Form to DB plugin tables).
   Thanks!

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post.
 * Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you here. This is not possible. Sorry.
    TablePress
   can only show static data, but is not suited for dynamic data, like from forms.
   For something like that, a custom PHP/mySQL solution is better. If you then want
   the sort or filtering functions on those, just load the DataTables JS library
   from [http://www.datatables.net](http://www.datatables.net) manually.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * Not used [dbview](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dbview/) (the plugin) before
   as I only found out about it this week, but if it still works and is secure, 
   it might be an option?

 * Hi flick,
 * no problem at all! 🙂 I’m well aware that TablePress does not work for all use
   cases, so it’s always good to know about alternatives for certain tasks! So, 
   thanks for sharing this plugin!
 * Regards,
    Tobias
