where does Form data go when 'Submit' is hit?

I presume when form data is entered by a user and the 'Submit' button is
clicked, the data goes somewhere on the server side. Any pointers to where
I go from here to capture that data? Thanks in advance. -Fred

Check the _private folder or under Form Properties.

You essentially are supposed to tell it where to send the data.

in the form properties, you tell it to process the data either
1) to an email 2) text (CSV) file 3) a database 4) process by external
script (perl/cgi, asp, php etc).

It doesn't just "go somewhere" without your interaction to tell it where to
go.

Hey Fred,
Good question,.
Once submitted the form data goes to server side where it connects to
another script such as CGI,PHP,ASP usually to get data or input data
into a database of somesort.

One other possibility is that it can go to another page for additional processing.
