Hi Tommy,
You will need to open the site live, then _private and then the file to view
the results.

Thanks Ronx, got a bit further. I used a default template (the feedback form.
in front page), I published this as you specified and it is creating the text
file in the _private directory. However, it is just creating a blank, zero
byte file. (both a .csv and a .txt file)
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="_private/feedback.txt"
s-format="TEXT/TSV" s-label-fields="TRUE"
s-builtin-fields="Date Time REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT"
s-form-fields startspan --
<input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" i-checksum="43374"endspan -->

No. But the file you are saving to should be in the _private folder, which
has the correct permissions for writing to the file - it should definitely
NOT be in the C:\temp folder, the file MUST be in your website.
When you create the form you must have a web open in FrontPage, and after
saving the form File->Publish the web to a server running the FrontPage
extensions using HTTP. Or create the form in an open web on a server.

Hi,
I am trying to save form data in a text file using webbot self
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="c:\temp\form.txt"
S-Format="TEXT/PRE"-->
Am I supposed to uncomment the webbot line that frontpage sticks in here
automatically? I did try this but when I click "submit" on the form,
nothing
actually happenes. If anyone has ever successfully done this (I simply
want
to save the data the user enters in the form to a text file). Please let
me
know how it is done. I have server extensions installed on my web server
but
Im not sure if any additional configuration needs to be applied in order
to
get this working. Thanks
