problems sending form results to email AND .TXT FILE

[Gauthier]

hi there...
i have a form set to send results to email which works fine.
however, i have also specified to send results to the file:
_private/_private/form_results.txt
i also chose (in "options) to send "Text database using comma as a
separator"
the send to FILE is not working.
could use your help
tia!

Unless you have a typo, the path is incorrect

_private/_private/form_results.txt

should be:

_private/form_results.txt

AHHH...revelation...
i learned from when i set up the send results to "database" that i had to
open the web entitled http://www.mydomain.ca to retrieve my db results...
so, i just tried it with the .txt results and sure enough there it was!
i have no idea why tho...
when i'm "working" on my webpage i go to "myweb1 xxx1234" (i assume this is
my local harddrive?)
so then..what is web "http://www.mydomain.ca"...is that like a "server" web
page or something?? is this the norm??

you're working on a local web (within your computer) and publishing your
work to a location on the internet that your hosting provider has given/
sold you.
you can also do this:
file/ open web, in the open web dialog box type in the http:// location of
your web. then when it's open find the text file and right click it and
select "publish selected files", then browse to the local web. (the one in
"my documents" or "my webs" on the local machine) and publish. you'll be
sending that file back to your machine.
