saving form data to a file - 3/21/2001 20:33:00   
At work my intranet is on a UNIX server with FP extensions but the server doesn't support databases. The admin said to save the form data to a text file. I have been able to do this.

My question is - I would like users to be able to query the file and view the results. Is this possible? If not is there any way around this?

I would like to start tracking RMA's online.

P.S. I'm a newbie

Im not familiar with Unix and odbc, but does it hace an odbc driver for text files?
You may be able to read a csv format that way? Does the server support asp?

I don't know if the server supports ODBC or ASP. I'm meeting with the web admin on Thursday so I'll be sure to ask him.

If anyone knows anything else that I should ask, please let me know.

Thanks

Sean

The web host admin at work said I had to use Perl and CGI scripts.

Oh well, I'm off to learn Perl.

Thanks

Sean
