Dear members,

I have few questions for you .....

I am having my web site and an online survey designed using MS FRONTPAGE.

In the form I am directing data to a CSV file (Excel ) .

My questions: are there any issues with concurrency , locks ... etc as my survey could be accesed by more than one user simultaniously.

Also are there any limits to the maximum size of such file ?

Would you rather recommed a databse as a repository ( I expect around 500 respondants in total )

many thanks and execuse me if I have not picked the correct forum as this is my first posted message here.

CSV has no concurrency or other DB features of that nature. It is just a text file.

You should either limit the utility to one user at a time, or use a DB.
