Can I verify something I *think* I've noticed and then saw a couple of
references to here? Is it indeed the case that ASPs can't use the form
handler to write to (for instance) _private/form_results.txt, that I'd need
to save as a standard HTM to do that?

Thanks,

Correct. If you want to write to a file using the FP Form Handler, the form must not contain any
server-side scripting and must have a .htm(l) extensions. If want to use ASP, then suggest you write
to a database if you are using the FP database component, otherwise you will have custom write a
form handler in ASP/VBscript to use the FileSystemObject to create file.

Excellent, thanks for the confirmation. I sometimes get swamped with
day-to-day work and can't always keep up with the newsgroup, but when I
scanned the thousands of posts/responses to catch up this morning, I was
amazed at the depth of information available. I need to make a habit again
of scanning this group daily.
