Easiest software to write data capture forms

[simonsjames]

Hi,

I'm experiencing diffuculties with front page due to my ISP not enabling the extensions. I need to design a form that will capture data, wite to a comma delim file on the server, sequentially adding each new capture, and email me when someone fills in the form with the data on each capture.

Plain vanilla stuff for a web site !.

I'm not so hot on asp, and really wanted to use a drag and drop mouse driven program that will do the donkey work for me !

Front page would have been fine but for my ISP.. (moving ISP has other considerations unfortunately)

I downloaded dreamweaver mx, and can see its a very powerful piece of software, that will take some time to learn, and didn't seem to have a quick , easy solution for me.

Has anyone used anything a little easier that will generate the asp or otherwise - and achieve my end result ?

many thanks.

Simon

Hi mate,

I dont know about ASP but if you can use Perl and are willing to pay a small price then check out the following page. It is a script by a fellow member of these forums and does exactly what you want and more..

This is the script that I use to process all of my forms.
