Do you mean that you want to create a text file on the Server everytime someone submits a form?

If so you can use the FSO.

Whatever directory you use to store this files must allow reading & writing by the IUSR_MachineName account (Make sure you disable all other permissions for this account on this folder!)
VB Code:
```
Dim txtString, fso, txtFile
txtString= "Some Text String"
Set fso = server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set txtFile = fso.CreateTextFile("c:\Temp\WebPages\page1.htm", True)
txtFile.Write (txtString)
txtFile.Close
```

I'm thinking that if you ask the same question 3 or more times you'll get a better response.

I second that, its a little bit annoying if someone posts the same question again and again.

Rajender, rather then asking some one to do your course work ask specific question, we all here would be glad to help.
