Does anybody know how to create a form in Dreamweaver so I can save the results to a basic text file with comma seperated values?

All I can find in the online help and on the net is how to send the results to an email address. It's for a program I am writing for university so i'd like it to be nice and simple.

Thanks

You'll need a server side language to do that. Do you have to host it on the University servers? If so you'll probably be restricted on which one you can use - if not, pick one, then find a host that supports it. Some choices are:

ASP.NET - By far the best, IMO. Very structured, compiled, language. Can use any .NET language but the main 2 are Visual Basic and C# (C Sharp). Requires IIS (Windows) server with the .NET framework.
ASP - Uses either VBScript or JScript. It was what IIS did before .NET was developed. Not much point in starting to learn it now (might as well go with .NET)
Perl - I think you can get Perl working on Windows... but it's hard. Otherwise it's *nix you'll need.
ISAPI DLLs - Can be written in Delphi and also C/C++ I think. Needs an IIS Server and not many host support them. Usefull if you have control of your server and the only language you know is Delphi.
PHP - Works on *nix but can also work on Windows/IIS. But there's not a lot of point in that - you might as well use ASP.NET if you have a Windows server.

I have to host it on the uni servers as it has to interact with a program that i have written, and getting my program to download and read the file from a remote location would involve a whole load more code and isn't really nessasary. This form is basicaly a whistle/bell to a finished project.

I just hoped that there was some kind of script that could do it for me.
