FormHandler - Save to new, daily File ?

I am using FrontPage's FormHanlder to write Form Results to a CSV file. Is
there a way (add-in) to make FrontPage create a new file every day, with the
date in the file name? Currently it just appends the new entries to one
single file, but I would like to have one file for each day. Is that
possible?

Thankyou
 
No. Have you considered using a database?

Sorry, but to do this, you'd have to write your own form
handler. This wouldn't be terribly difficult to do using
ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, or whatever your server supports, but
it *would* require entry-level programming skills.

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately I have _very_ limited programming knowledge, so for now I will
have to resort to manual copy and pasting into individual files. If the
traffic gets too much, I will look into a scripting solution. Thanks again.

Oh, and BTW, LOVE FP 2003. Upgraded a couple of weeks ago. The SPLIT view
and the Code Snippets are great!
 
Add the date (Form Properties Options Fields) to the data being saved in your .CSV file
- then just open you online web in FP and copy the .CSV to your desktop to open it in Excel & Sort by date
