FrontPage Form saving a text file

B

Bob Zimmerman

My web site was hosted on an Windows server at Go Daddy and it was moved to a
Linux server. I did apply FrontPage extensions on the Linux server. They are
running 2002 FrontPage extensions.

I have a form and I save the results to a text file with a header record as
follows:
,"FullName","BusinessName","StreetAddress", etc., etc.

It worked great on the Windows server. Now on the Linux server my result
file is no longer following the format above.

It is now formating each field vertically:

1 FullName
2 BusinessName

In both the above examples I am saving the to the text file as Text Formated.

Help please if you can.

Thank you.

Don't use save as formatted text
Use CSV text (tab delimited)
- Text Database tab delimited (do not include field names)
(your header should just be the field names - no quotes needed - w/ a tab between them)

The problem w/ using Comma delimited data as you have it now is If any of the data has a comma you break your data structure
