# TypeError: Error #1009

Asked by Rajkumar on 2018-02-20

Hi OFC,
I developed a form for collect mobile for social survey. it is ok to enter data in mobile and also submits in my collect server. there is no any error in mobile entry. When I try to enter the data through desktop it allows only for 1st record and when I try to add second record it throws **TypeError: Error #1009** error and also after submitting from mobile it submits successfully. After it, when I try to view the data from desktop same error occurs. I have windows 10 and latest version of collect desktop.  I also restarted my computer and collect server. This did not work. here is the error file link.

Dear Rajkumar,  
This is probably caused by a bug in Collect.  
We will investigate on this issue and let you know.

I just solved the problem. What I did that I started to build survey again from scratch with previewing in each step. I found what I have done mistake. I created form (1:N) and tried to nest more than one form (1:1) nesting on that form and here was the mistake.![wrong Practice][1]
