Hi All,

I’ve to make a form that’s going to work on a local machine without internet during an event. I have a form i’m using for our website, but this one just sends emails.

The data needs to be written to a file (Excel / XML ?) which we, after the event, tranfer to another computer and add the list of subscriptions in our company network.

Could anyone advise me how to do this the right way? Should i write it to an XML file or something else? Anyone has an example of such a form?

Normally i use PHP, but that’s not an option now.

Any help or suggestion will be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
