| Hi Folks!
I have what should be a simple problem but for the life of me, I can't find
a work around for it.
Briefly, I have been working on a one-page questionnaire on a stand-alone
computer for a library. The aim is to encourage people to offer feedback but
I want these comments to be saved to the hard drive rather than posted to a
web server because this computer is not connected to the internet.
I used the Front Page wizard and have a comments box with two (Submit or
Clear) buttons and everything is fine apart from the fact that when the
Submit button is clicked, the program tries to send the comments to the
server and an error message is returned.
Is there any way I can redirect this to save the comments to a .txt or .htm
file on the hard disk?
Thanks in advance for your help...
Mike

| Not possible unless the computer is running a server ((IIS) locally under the FP SE
- does not need an Internet connection, but needs an OS that can run a local Server
(like Win XP Pro or Win 2000)
The FP forms can only write to a file w/i the FP web site when the site is running on as Server based web under the FP SE

| The stand alone computer must have a web server installed. If running
Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro install IIS and FrontPage extensions
from the Windows CD, and publish the web page to http://localhost.
The data will be stored on the computers hard disc, either in a
database or text file as desired, and there is no need to connect to
the internet - but a web page form MUST have a webserver to work.
