Odd form problem

I have a FP form that submits the results to a text file, and to email
but when I fill it out, hit submit it does nothing. The text file is
created, but not populated and the email is never sent. There isn't an
error to go with either. The form simply returns to itself.

Any ideas?
 
URL??
We need to see it.

Hi Dave,

Does that page has an ASP extension?
If so change it to HTM and then check.

Hope this helps

Nope, it is already an HTM.

I've also tried to create a new form but it is not working either.
 
Don't understand your error

1) the results file must exist in a folder w/ write permissions when you create the form
- you say "The text file is created, but not populated"
2) you haven't described what you are sending the form to

Post a snippet of your html
- the form tag and webbot code right below it from your page as viewed in browser source

I am sending plain text in the form. It's not getting processed.

The file "_private/test.htm" is created, but is not populated with form
results.
 
Right click the form for Form Properties Options and make sure on Saved fields FirstName is listed

Verify your intranet is running the FP SE
