writing a file via form

[joan]

Hi!

I need to write a file (append data) from a form fields in a intranet enviroment. After this file must be read it in excel.

I suposse it can be done with databases (coldfusion, asp). Is there any cheap and easier solution?.Have you any sugestion, tutorial, link or idea ?

Thanks in advance

no. javascript, and other client side languages, don't have any file read or write capabilities. you need a server side language. they're designed for this sort of thing.

I think it can be done using client-side VBScript using FileSystemObject

Thanks premshree

VBScript and JavaScript could write to the clientside, using the windows scripting host. it's actually pretty easy to do. but she wants to write to a database, which means writing to the server. that may be possible, but i've never seen it done, and i wouldn't know how to go about it. in general, joan is better off using a server side language.

Thanks joh6nn for your clever explain !

I'm goint to have some test.

PD: she is he. I'm john like you, but in other language (catalan = joan)
