Submitting Data

I read Thoms article on submitting form data using Javascript submitForm() function. I have read and read again the article as well as the javascript reference and I still can't get my submit form button to work with a side server script. I know it has to do with my ISP server, I'm not sure I'm sending it to the right place. The instructions say to use gdform.asp but all I get is the error "can't find page" I was using the following. this.submitForm("http://www.northcreekdata.com/gdform.asp");
Thanks

There are two things to try out.

1. Try to hit this URL from the browser directly. If the Browser can't find it then it either doesn't exist or is unreachable.

2. Append a "#FDF" to the end of the URL when submitting. This tells Acrobat to Expect return data.

I am creating a LiveCycle form in Acrobat 9 pro extended. I want to input the data in the PDF form and let it update the Excel spread sheet. I just want to put the spreadsheet and the PDF on the company server. I have never attached a PDF to a data base before. How do you link the two together and what scripting language is recommended or am I nuts for trying it?
