Hi Gary,
You should be able to set the properties for your file to Formtted Text (my favorite)
To view the results, you would open your site live, open the _private folder and subsequently the .csv file
Stop by my site if you need more info on forms.
Hope I have been of some help,

have done what you have suggested, and i get the following error:
FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.
This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.
I have the page running on IIS with server extensions installed. write permissionas are granted.
any suggestions?

If you are getting the error in browser preview, ignore it.
Honestly, when I get this in browser preview, then I know I have a working form.
If you get this after publishing, then there is a problem with the extensions. They may need to be reset or reinstalled.
The FrontPage form requires both the FPSE and publishing with FrontPage to http location.
It would be helpful to provide a URL for your form page. I'll take a look as soon as I see your reply.

ahhh okay, may not have published with frontpage, simply just save-as'd to the appropriate directory.
Here is the test from page that I am using.

<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">

Ok, here's the basic skinny on FP components.
Not to be redundant, but they must be published with FrontPage to a server with the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
These include but aren't limited to forms, shared borders, guestbook etc.
First always start with a Web, then include your page as part of a web.
Unless your PC is configured as a server with the extensions installed, the form won't work.
In addition to this, even if you created the form on the server, it would still need to be published to
Also, in order to send mail, you would also have to set up email transport e.g. SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol).
If you create a form page as part of a web on your PC, you will need to publish to get things working.
If you don't have a commercial host, you could use a free host such as
They have the exensions, but you might need them to do a reinstall if they don't work right in the beginning. The support for this doesn't take long.
As to the HTML, you will notice file tags in front of your file name. These will need to be removed before publishing so the file will only be _private/form_results.csv
On a free server, you will likely have to use the full URL,

I have done all of the things that you have outlined. I have IIS set up, and have published the form page from FP to
Still no results.
I think that there is a problem with the FP server extensions. will try reinstallation when i have some more time.
Is this reinstall of FP server EXt. often necessary?

Well,
I have used numerous hosting solutions and reinstalling extensions seems to follow the increase in wind speed. With some hosts, I have had to reset the extensions multiple times in a month and this is without using FTP at all. Server burbs, server upgrades and the Frontpage Gremlins are always interrupting the extensions.
Big thing is avoid using FTP. This is frequently the culprit for corrupting the extensions.
