Email attachment not readable from form using FP2000

[pegarcia]

I created a FP form with a submit button. The form will send the email but
the file is formatted as a .ATT file attachment. I've opened the file using
Notepad and found the information is correct however it is a single long
string of text. I can only make the form work using the "Custome ISAPI,
NSAPI, CGI, or ASP Script" option which doesn't allow file type selection.
The following is the HTML sending the form:

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Environmental Incident
Report" target="_top">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="O:\forms\incident.htm"
S-Format="HTML/UL"
S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="HTML/UL"
S-Email-Address="(e-mail address removed)"
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Email-ReplyTo-From-Field="FALSE"
S-Email-ReplyTo="email" B-Email-Subject-From-Field="FALSE"
S-Email-Subject="Incident Report" S-Builtin-Fields S-Form-Fields -->

Ultimately I would like the form to send the information provided by a user
in a printable format.

Thanks,

Select the text option and make sure under Page Options | Authoring you have the Extensions enabled
and that you are publishing the site to a server that has FP extensions.

Also do not name the form or change the name that FP assigns.

The path for the save result file should be relative to the web, not a absolute URL to disk-based
location, which is a indication that you did not have web / site open when you worked on the content
of your web.

Change this -

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Environmental Incident
Report" target="_top">

to this -

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Environmental Incident
Report" target="_top" enctype="text/plain">

Tom,

I checked the Page Options and FP extensions are/were enabled on my page. I
removed the file name and retried the form. The same file attachment is sent,
POSTDATA.ATT. Is this an indication that our server may not have FP
extionsions enabled? I have sent a question to our IT group asking if the FP
extensions are enabled but I have not yet heard back.

It could be how their mail server is configured.

Add the enctype - you'll see....

PS
And the name should be w/o any spaces (plus the FP forms handler does not support targets)

<form METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Environmental_Incident_Report" enctype="text/plain">
