Post form results to a file and a custom script

Using FP 2000, I want to direct the end-user to a page determined by a choice they make in a drop down menu.  FP 2000 allows form results posted to a file OR a custom script.  I need to do both.

Any ideas?

bbonsall,


     I need a little clarification...

Are you wanting the visitor to select a destination from a pull down menu, or are you refering to the visitor going to a follow on page dependant on responses from a form input?

I'm asking them to select their job title from a list.  If they select job title "A", I want them to go to page "B".  If they select any other title, I want them to go to page "C".  Regardless of what title they select, I want the form results saved in a text file.

Thanks for your assistance!  --B
would Perl be an acceptable solution?
Anything that works would be great...I would prefer a solution utilizing FP only, but chiggers can't be boozers!
Thanks for your help!

I am able to direct the user to a page dependent on their drop down menu choice, what I am unable to do is save the results of the form to a text file.

An example:

The form contains name, phone number, email address and job title.  I want to save this information every time the user hits the submit button.  I then want to direct anyone that says their job title is "Lawyer" to page A and everyone else to page B.

It is critical that the form results get saved to a file, preferrably delimited ASCII.
Hi bbonsall, take a look at this page jump depending on what you choose from a drop down menu. Maybe this is what you are looking for. You see a working example at: http://www.smartpeople.de/ drop down at "Themen auswählen" in the top bar.

And here is the important part of the code:

<form method="POST" action="">
<SELECT NAME=menu onchange="window.open (this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')" size="1">
<option selected>Thema auswählen</option>

<option value="http://www.smartpeople.de/cgi/index.html">CGI's</option>

<option value="http://www.smartpeople.de/whois.html">Domainabfrage</option>
                          <option value="http://www.smartpeople.de/email/index.html">eMail</option>

<option value="http://www.smartpeople.de/email/smartemanager.html">eMail Manager</option>

</select>
</form>

-P.
Again, it is critical that the results of the form be posted to a file.
