Saving data from a form

Under form properties I am sending the results to a file "_private/form_results.csv" (defined by FP) and to my email address. The email comes fine, but when I look in the form_results.csv file there is nothing. Any ideas? www.VillageWalkLiving.com is the web site. The form is on the "Committees" page.
 
It could be a permissions error. The _private directory usually needs
read/write/delete access for the files in it. This means that you should
actually be able to open it through the url:
www.VillageWalkLiving.com/_private/form_results.csv When trying to browse it
comes to a permissions error. It could be that FP can't see this file or add
to it and therefore can't store the results. This could be different for
Apache though as I haven't played with the extensions on Apache in years but
this is one possible dynamic for consideration.

Hope this helps,

JJ,

In order to view the contents of the the results submitted
to the .csv file, you will need to open your site live,
then the _private folder and subsequently the csv file.

If you are not familiar with working live ... File >> Openreserved for page name.
