Sending Form Data

Hi there, please excuse the ignorance of this question but I have been trying
to figure out if this is possible at all:

I run an Intranet accessable only to staff as it is published on our
internal servers and have been set the challenge of hosting some online
questionnaires for the staff.

I have designed the questionnaires, and would like the data to seed into a
database (preferably Excel) and have found many way of doing this through
help files etc using the Server Extentions.

However, our IT Manager will not allow these extentions to be installed
(don't ask!) so my question is, can this be compelted without the server
extentions being installed, or is there another way to complete this.

If I could have the data e-mailed then I could set up a macro to then import
the data into Excel.

Any help or suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks
DanP
 
Hi Dan
Yo don't need frontpage extensions to send form data to a database you can
do this with asp the extension are just a way of automating the creation of
the code.
here are some but there are more
http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/ASP/Excel-and-ASP/1

you could always send to an access database then export to excel. again just
do a search for "asp form to access database script"
Good luck

I am not sure if you can do this on an intranet but if you have asp.net
installed you can use expression web designer to create the form and
database connection someone will be able to tell you .
try the forum
http://www.microsoft.com/communitie...lic.expression.webdesigner&cat=&lang=en&cr=US
expression web designer is the program which has replaced frontpage.
frontpage extensions will not be supported soon anyway Microsoft has
decided that the way foreward is asp.net so it is worth a look
