Is it possible for a form to create a CSV file from the data it has collected and email it to a designated email address??

The emailing part aint a problem but I can seem to find any articles on getting a form to create a CSV file.

If any one can point me in the direction of some useful articles I would be most appreciative!!

Cheers
 

You can create a file server-side fairly easily with most server-side languages, but to do so client-side would involve the use of the FileSystemObject ActiveX control.

This brings with it 2 restrictions:

1. It will only work in IE, and
2. It requires that you allow ActiveX controls to run.

Hope this helps,
Dan
