FP form results

[Unregistered]

Hi...
I am using FP 2003 and am new to creating forms and have run into
problem with it.

My form works in that it emails the data back to me as it should...bu
it also displays the data on the htm page that has the form. ie, th
next visitor to the form can see what the last visitor has filled in b
just scrolling down to the bottom of the form page.

Help! How do I stop this? Is it in the webbot code?:

<form METHOD="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--
onsubmit="location.href='../_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;
name="FrontPage_Form1"
language="JavaScript" webbot-onSubmit="retur
FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="polltest.htm" S-Format="HTML/BR
S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE"
S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="xxxxxxxxxxx
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Builtin-Fields="REMOTE_USER Date Time"
startspan B-Email-Subject-From-Field="TRUE" S-Email-Subject="USA Pol
" S-Date-Format="%d %b %Y" S-Time-Format="%H:%M:%S" -->
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
endspan --><input type="hidden" name="VTI-GROUP" value="9"

Your form is set up to save the results to polltest.htm. If this is your
form page, then, in form properties, change the location the results are
saved to (usually a file in the _private folder)

Sounds like you added a Guestbook not a forms page
The html on your page has 2 parts
- your below code is only part of the page (the form)
below it you probably have an include page webbot referencing the saved results

Recommend you delete the page you have and create a new one using File New Page (More page Templates) and select the Form Page
Wizard

Note:
The results must be saved in a folder w/ write permissions
- by default the _private folder
When using the wizard it should create one for you in the _private folder
(or you can move the results file there and change your forms properties to point to it)

Thank you all for your replies!!
And yes, the form page is Polltest...so it now makes sense to me no
that the data goes back to the original htm page. (Duh!...)

I went back to the Wizard and it created a "_private..." folder and no
it works just fine!

You know, using the "help" feature on FP'03 was pretty useless. I
doesn't explain anything about what input to each of those windo
boxes in the "Form Properties " actually do......I mean, I saw unde
the File Results tab that my htm file was listed in "File Name", righ
next to a Browse button...but didn't know what that meant. It wasn'
intuitively obvious that's were the data also ended up, since I ha
asked the data to be sent to an email address.

I kept trying to unclick the "Lastest results at end" since that seeme
a logical fix! If the input label had read "Your inputed data will sho
up here: ...." I might have caught the mistake myself....

Anyway, thanks again
