I have added a form to my website and when you click submit, the data goes
somewhere but I can't find it. I have tried using help, looking in the
_private folder. changing the location to an access database and nothing
seems to let me find my data. HELP!
 
Hi Jodie
I had to add the htm to the link you sent so I presume this is the right
page. The form is set to send to an email address (e-mail address removed)
and a file in the private folder to see if the info has gone check in the
remote private folder "_private/form_results.csv"
This form to email relies on frontpage extensions to do the backend stuff.
if you have the extensions installed on your server and still have no joy
try creating a new form in a new page and see if it works then .
You might try using a stand alone script. there are many to choose from
here is a search for an asp form to email script
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=asp+form+to+email+script&btnG=Google+Search&meta

Good look

Click to expand...
 
If it seems to work without error messages, you might want to check that
email address for new mail.....

I know I'm stating the obvious...but it seems it could have been overlooked.

I see two sets of "send/reset" buttons(IE7) This could be causing the
problem. One set might not be 'linked' to the form so they do nothing,
while the other set when clicked makes the form carry out the 'action' and
'method' as indicated in the form's code.

http://www.jodiesmall.com/registration.htm is the page I'm looking at.
 
I seem to have found the data but I have to go at it from my documents not
through excel and then excel gives me a message that it cannot read the file.
As for the email, my frontpage says it needs the extensions and my server
says they have them but it isn't going to the email only the file which
cannot be read....
Thanks for all the help, keep trying maybe we can figure this out.
 
You have to open the site directly in FP, then open the _private folder and export the .csv file to
your desktop, then you can open it in Excel.

I'm sure this is going to sound really novice but I went to that search page
and tried running one of the tutorials they have in codefixer but when I
paste the HTML inot frontpage on a blank page then look at it normal, it is
still HTML code. Is this something that i set up not in frontpage? I really
am trying to learn all the in's and outs' but there are so many.....

You don't paste it on the blank page, you paste it in code (html) view.l

that is what I did. Ihave pasted amny HTML codes into Frontpage, I did the
same thin only this one is still in code. i will work on it again later
maybe I can figure out what I am doing wrong on that one. If I understand
correctly when i do this it should create a form where people can submit
their name and email and it will go to an Access database. that is what my
objective is in all this. it really shouldn't be so difficult. Thanks for
your help and patience.

when I try to open the private folder in FP it is empty. When I go through
my documents it is there as a CSV file that excel cannot read. i looked for
an export feaure but can't find one.

Are you in fact opening the "live remote" site in FrontPage and looking in
the _private file?

It's not in your "My Documents" because that is your local machine, not the
online web.
