Hi,
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me in this regard as I need this to be done as soon as possible. I have created a form using HTML and Javascript. When I click on the submit button I need the Selected Answers to be sent to an Excel or MS-access or any database. I need to know whether this is possible using CGI/ASP. I guess ASP would be better. If not which one do you think is the best way to carry out. If anyone has any idea as to how can I go about in scripting this I would be very grateful. Hope to hear soon.

Thank you

I have used satandard text type database files and PERL db_File database files since those were all I had access to.

You need to first find out what is supported by the ISP. Then you need to ask the question again on a board that has help for the server-side language & DB supported.

For ASP your ISP would probably be a microsoft server, like server 2000, for Perl/CGI it would probably be a UNIX server.

Hope that helps.
