I have a form that simply has one text field in it. I want to have it set to go to an HTML file
when the person fills in the Text Area.

Problem is, when they fill it out and submit it and then go fill it out again, I want the second
piece of informatino to REPLACE the first piece of information but FP wants to keep just adding the
new information after the existing stuff. I tried turning off the "Latest results at end" box but
that had no effect.

Is there a way to ahve the form just overwrite the file each time it's submitted instead of
appending the data?

Thanks.
 
No possible when using the FP Form Handler, as there is no way to for FP to
determine which entry to overwrite. For something like this you will to use
a server-side script, such ASP, PHP, etc. and a database, and then create
login function to allow users to add and then edit their records.
