Hi,

Am working with white paper "How to Send Form Results to a Database and an
E-Mail Address and Use the File Upload Component Simultaneously," and I've
got an issue with setting up the connection to the form_results.txt file.
According to the directions for setting up form.htm (the page used to gather
information from the user and upload the file), the File Results are
supposed to go to form_results.txt, which has been defined as a container
for a comma-delimited text. However, on the Form Properties>Options>File
Results tab, when I change the File Format in the drop-down list to Text
Database using comma as a separator, FrontPage changes the name of the file
to form_results.csv, and when I change the file extension back to .txt per
the directions, FrontPage changes the File Format to Formatted Text. Data
written to the file is not comma-delimited, therefore, and the transfer of
that data to the Access database can't occur.

Help!

TIA.

Let FP name the file as it wants, .csv, if you want comma-delimited text.
