This is what i want like to do: I need a HTML page to run a form and capture a number. This form needs to be saved in a text file on the HP Jornads local drive. then when i Sync the HP i can take the information out of that file and use it. I cant run the form from the WInCE IE5 because it tells me that the Server extensions need to be install to run the form?? HELP Ted

Could you describe what your trying to do in a bit more detail? I'd say that you'd be looking at having to program your own server-side solution and active-sync module to do that If by server extensions you mean Front Page or Office server extensions to Windows CE browsers probably arn't able to cope with them, although thats worth investigating.

OK. This is what i want. in IE5 i have a HTML page that has a form, in this you can enter a number, after you enter the number i.e.12345 you click the "submit" button. adter the submit button another HTML page comes up and says "thanks for entering your number". the form or Java script then writes to a CSV file on the Jornada's local drive that has the number you entered and date and time in the file. if i could do this then i can copy or sync the file to my PC with no problem.

The only way that I know how to do that would be to use the PDA as the web server: http://www.cam.com/windowsce.html Theres another one on the net somewhere You will have to have all the form source code written into the html page, you couldn't use frnt page webbots to do the work on the form You will wither have to save the form results in the /my docs/syncronised files directory, or create a plugin module for acrivesync that takes the data from a seperate directory Alternativly you could just use a cookie to do the work, but that wouldn't solve the sync problem

OK. I understand. But how do you create the form other then Frontpage?? I can figure out the sync part, it's just the form part that i am having trouble with. Ted

The vast majority rely on CGI scripts to execute the form data, you'll have to learn CGI inorder to operate the form correctly, and have it installed on a CGI compatible web server. The vast majority of web space that come with ISP's won't allow CGI access. You'd need your own server or a lucky ISP find. Front page server extensions are handy for that reason, however are Microsoft vision of things, and reguire a Microsoft Front Page server extension enabled server, or they won't work. Most service providers don't provide working Front page server extensions. Your best bet, if you have an able server is to try and find and install the CGI you may find it in a script archive site Good luck

JavaScript in your .html file cannot write to local machine, this is security issue. You have to try write your own .OCX control and Sign it, then embed your .OCX in your .html file. First check that WindowsCE allow .OCX usage anyway.
