 * Hi,
 * I am looking for a plug in which will use a form in front end in order to submit
   records for **an existing** table in wp database.
 * Is it possible?
 * Thank a lot!

 * It really depends on what you’re trying to accomplish. If other code is using
   the same database, or if the data is also coming in from other sources, that 
   will limit your options because you’ll need to keep it compatible with both. 
   You’ll probably have to create your own code to do the job in a case like that.
 * If the database table is not interacted with by other code, you could possibly
   do this with Participants Database, but you’d have to translate the existing 
   database table into a new database table that is compatible with the plugin. 
   That may or may not be practical, depending on the data you’re trying to manage.
   I’ve got an article on using existing data with Participants Database, it may
   help you understand what you need to do.

 * Thank you xnau webdesign. The database will interact with differert codes.
    Because
   it was difficult to resolve such a topic I decided to let down this.
 * Kindly regards
