submit button Creates new page?

I would like to create a password protected subweb where users would submit
data via FP "surveys" but instead of using page includes or database I would
like to send results to a specific folder that the form auto creates a new
file for each submission. Then each user could browse that folder for any or
all results files. Is this possible? I'm not very skilled with DB's, Access
or ASP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Not possible with any FP component. Require server-side scripting using ASP, ASP.net, PHP, CGI-Perl,
etc. along with the host setting specific permissions for script access to the web server file
system,

Thanks Thomas!, Host does support FPSE, Access DB, etc. Excuse my ignorance
but should I create the pages locally, publish then edit? Or just author
remotely and then synchronize (remote to local)?

Sorry but I have another question: When using FP database should I create the
database in Access first (atleast all the tables with fields) or should I
just use FP, (create pages with tables to store records)?

I would create the Access database directly in Access, then import it into your web, create your
connection, then let FP move it to the fpdb folder.

The you will need to write you custom ASP code. You can do all of this locally until you reach the
point regarding the folder permission which have to be set by the host, so you publish and begin
testing on the live server.
