I created a web site for my city council campaign, www.voteforjay.com,
and included a "Feedback" page.  My problem is that I have no idea
where this feedback is going, or how to retrieve it.  I have been able
to figure out that I can direct it to my email, but am not sure HOW to
do that either.  The perfect answer will tell me how to get any
feedback already sent and how to direct future feedback to email. 
Thank you.

Jay,

This line is part of your feedback page's code:

"The results of this form are stored in the file
'_private/inforeq.txt' in your web. You can edit this file using
FrontPage, or view and print it from any web browser."

Have you checked the file mentioned above?

Where does that file live?

I can't verify this, since the file obviously would not be accessible
to an outsider, but I would assume that this is a file called
inforeq.txt in a directory called _private. You might do a file search
for a file by that name.

OK, I am not usually this numb, but where would I search?  Will it be
on my PC?  (How would it get there?)  Do I have to download it from
somewhere?  If you can help me, I will gladly tip.  Thanks.

I did just search my PC and found nothing.  PLEASE HELP.  I will check
for your answer tomorrow.  Thanks again.

I'm leaving your question open in hopes that another Researcher will
have a useful suggestion for you. Often many heads are better than
one. I hope we can track down your file.

epbdad...

The message in the source code for your page:
"The results of this form are stored in the file
'_private/inforeq.txt' in your web. You can edit
this file using FrontPage, or view and print it 
from any web browser."

...indicates that, if your website is hosted from
your own computer, it will be found in the server
directory at that location, and can be found on
your harddrive by searching for inforeq.txt

If your website is hosted on a server at a hosting
site, you will not locate the file on your drive,
but should be able to find it on the web at which
your site is hosted. You should be able to access
it by utilizing the same FTP program which is used
to upload files to your site.

Is this something you have done/can do yourself, or
is there a site manager/webmaster who handles these
things for you? whoever uploads the files to your
site should be able to access the file.
