7) Save the file to your local computer (hard drive).

8) Publish the new file via the "Publish" or "Import" option to the CCC Web Server.

Important Notes:

1) Do NOT set-up your feedback form to Send to: File and Email Address.

2) Only specify one email address per feedback form.  If you type in more than one email address, the message will NOT be sent.

3) This type of form CANNOT be tested in your Personal Web Server.   You must transfer the file from your personal computer to the CCC Web Server in order to test the form.  It is recommended that you DO NOT link to the form until you have thoroughly tested the form to make sure it works.
