Thanks for continuing to help me, I’ll look at it tomorrow - been messing with a login page for hours - 100% burnt out for today… Can’t seem to get anything to work 
Yes, as @jowhiskey says.
Firstly make sure you have set the form to a server connect form, if not click the “Make Server Connect Form” button
Secondly make sure the button is set to submit

Site security is very well documented. Check out:
https://community.wappler.io/c/docs/security-and-login
Read the topics from oldest to latest. After that you have a clear overview how everything works.

After many many hours working on trying to get the database set up to save records - I stopped working on that part. I decided to try implementing another part of what I need to get working. The user logon stuff.
I followed the documentation (very very carefully). I did everything step by step (and there are places in the documentation that don’t match what is displayed in Wappler) - I checked everything over and over many times - when I got done everything shows up but when I enter a correct username and password (or an incorrect one) nothing happens.
The page redirect on success does not work and the alert that is supposed to surface if incorrect information is entered does not display. I even did this with a static user file so it was not complicated by any SQL database.
Starting to seem hopeless. Everything I try to do seem overly complicated and most of what I try never works no matter how much help I get or how many different ways I try to do it…
The reason for this could be the newer versions of wappler where the UI changed. It’s impossible to keep up the documentation to the actual version every time wappler gets an update.
As for the failure, I’m sorry but my knowledge ends there. There are many possibilities what went wrong.
Yes, I understand and agree - with the pace of SW updates it would take an army of people to keep all the documentation perfect.
I think I just need to take a little break - I need to do some work in the garden today anyway. Thanks again for taking the time to help me - I know everyone is busy and helping me does not really do anything for anyone else - the great folks here are just kind and generous souls

I disagree. By helping others, one can increase his personal skillset and to be a bit poetic, really make the world a better place. At least the software dev world :)

I am sure as you ask the questions, many follow and learn with you. It’s like teaching by example.

I’ve been equally stuck on this part for some days now, reading all documentation and posts carefully. I do get my database connections validated and forms get very nicely built with the bootstrap 4 form generator based on the tables and fields in my database.
When I try to save records, hitting the button seems to not trigger any action. It was configured as a submit button and the form got connected to a server action. What I did across all posted screenshots, however, is the “server/database icon” going with a “server connect form”. Looking at my forms, they continue showing the “form icon”.
@norcoscia Did you manage to solve this issue or could anyone else guide me in the right direction? Feels like only being 1 step away from this to work…
Can you post a link to your page, where we can check this?
I am not sure I understand your question about:
is the “server/database icon” going with a “server connect form”.
