 * Hi,
 * I would like to use two input forms to load data into the database. The first
   form is a generic sign-up for with the usual fields. The second form contains
   all these fields plus 6 other fields. I could keep these forms on separate pages
   or display the extra fields when one of the original sign-up fields have a specific
   value. One form is for a member sign-up and the other one is to capture additional
   information for volunteers.
 * Reading through the forums I saw instructions to show field or not in the fields
   loop but this was for a list. I hope something similar can be done in displaying
   fields for the input form.

 * You can determine which fields are used in the form in the shortcode. Take a 
   look at this article:
