Frontpage posting problems

[Guest]

I have an intranet page that submits it's results to a comma seperated file.
Every moring the user's who use the form get a Frontpage error. To get rid
of this error i must change the form to submit to a text file, run the form,
change it back to a comma seperated file and run the form again. Why would
my form require "resetting" every morning. Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

It's hard to know without knowing what the error is? It could be a
permissions problem where the IUSR account doesn't have all the permissions
it needs, but without knowing the exact error that a user receives there's
no simple way to determine it. Try posting the exact error message here and
we'll see what we can do.

Hope this helps,

What happens is the user clicks on the submit button and recieves:

"Frontpage Error
User: Contact your webmaster
Webmaster: Check the server's event log for more informtaion"
or something like that. Then i just "reset" the output to text file and
then back again and the form submits as it should.

sorry to double post, but what rights should the IUSR account have?

Where are you writing to, and are the permissions of all users set to allow write to that location
- if a user is not authenticated or logged in w/ correct permissions FP will not write to that location
