How to redirect survey forms using FrontPage

[Bill]

Hello,

Could someone please help me with the issue stated below.

Within my web site I have a page that visitors can fill out a survey form
and "Submit" it. We have it were it will submit it to a file on the Web
Server (Formdata.htm) I found this file located in the
\inetpub\wwwroot\index_files\ folder. My problem is that I would like to
have all survey form that are submit to be redirect to another location.

Can this be done, if so how? Can it be redirected to a folder on another
network server on the Intranet or at least to a designated folder on the IIS
Server?

Couple things I should mention is that the web page has been designed using
FrontPage 2003 (it has been "published" out to a Intranet IIS Web Server).
The Web Server is only used for internal users (the company's dedicated WAN)
it's not accessible to the public internet.

Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.
William

The std FP forms handler will only send results to a folder (w/ write permissions) in your currently opened FP web or subweb
- to send it anyplace else (w/ write permissions) you need server side scripting

FYI
index_files looks like a thicket folder of the page index.xxx

Could you please elaborate on the point of server side scripting. Am I
going to need to do something like ASP type scripting?

I think I made my request sound more difficult than what it really is. All
I'm trying to do is redirect a "Submitted" form that a users would fill out
in a Web page (by the way the web page was published using FrontPage 2003),
onto a folder either on the Web Server or another Server on the same
network. This is needed so that the administrator (the person who will be
receiving the form) can go to a folder on the network and retrieve them.

My question is, within the design file of FrontPage 2003 (.PUB), there is a
"Submit" button that has been created. And in FrontPage (design view) you
can go into the Command Button property of the "Submit" button then go to
Form Properties and either;

1. Send the data in a file on my Web Server
2. Send data to me in email
3. Use a program from my ISP

These are the choices you have, what I would like to do is choice (1) "Send
the data in a file on my Web Server".

Back to the question, how do I do that? Do I need to create a Server Side
Script for this operation?

I tried to put in a UNC to point to the folder on the Web server but it
didn't like that.

Any direction you can give me on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
William

within the design file of FrontPage 2003 (.PUB),

That is NOT FrontPage, that is Publisher - the worst ever web
publishing program ever (and "ever" is worth repeating.)
Rebuild the form in FrontPage, and scrap Publisher as a web page
editor. Publisher is excellent for desk-top publishing, or for almost
any document that is designed to be printed.

These are the choices you have, what I would like to do is choice
(1) "Send
the data in a file on my Web Server".

Back to the question, how do I do that? Do I need to create a Server
Side
Script for this operation?

Open the website in FrontPage, then open the page.
Right click anywhere in the form and choose Form properties.
Select Send To
In the filename, type in the path and address of the file you wish to
write the results to. The file MUST be in the _private folder, which
has the correct permissions for writing to a file.
Click Options button
On File Results tag, pick a format for your results, and choose to
include field names or not.
On Saved Fields tag, choose date format and other fields to save if
you wish to include them in the data.
Click OK and OK

Publish the website to your server - it must be HTTP published to a
server running the FrontPage extensions.

If your server does not have FrontPage extensions, then you need to
know what server side scripting languages your host supports, and find
or write a suitable form handler - your host may have one available.

Finally - Publisher and web pages are not a good combination.
