I've created a form and a database to collect the submitted information.

When I publish the form and test it I receive a confirmation page.

When I go to view the Access database the information that I submitted is not present.

Does anyone know where this information is going?
 
have you published the database file?
the form has to have something to write the data to....
have you made your database connection and uploaded the global.asa file?
 
The form output has to go to a file in the _private folder. Did you create a
file in that folder with the same name as the page your form is sending to?
The default is form_results.txt (or something very similar). If you changed
the output file in the form, you need to create one in the _private folder
with the same exact name as the one you are pointing the form output to.
 
I had this problem before. It was caused by the web location on the
server not being set up as an "application root". If the server you
publish to does not have the location to which you are publishing set up
as an application root, everything *seems* ok when you publish etc.,
but it doesnt work.

Ask your web hoster to verifyy that it is set up as an application root.
I'm no server guru -- I'm just sharing something I learned here a couple
years ago. It might be worth a try.
