Using Form to update a text file - possible? - 11/15/2001 14:51:00   
Hi everyone!

I have a java scroller applet that reads a text file for the content.

Currently, users have to open the text file in notepad to edit the file.

I would like to have a form that would allow the user to key in the text and submit it to update the text file.

Here's what I've tried so far:

I created a form with a database query to pull up a template of how the text should look into a form. The form properties sent the results to the text file I want updated. I change the results on the form and submit, but the file is not changed.

I also tried a form with out the database query and simply set the template as the default value for the field. This time, however, I get the following error:

FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.


Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details.

Any suggestions?

Spooky

How are you sending the new text file? The standard FP submit to text, or custom?

If so, what type of script?

I'm afraid I'm not at the level of using a custom script. I'm just using the default FP send to text file option.
