A database (one that already exists or that Microsoft FrontPage creates for you)
You can also write a custom script to specify how to save your form results.

Make sure that Button type is set as Submit, and not Normal or Reset.

It is possible that your Submit button is set as a Reset button.

How do I get the results I saved to a file on my server?
Tip
When you are configuring your form results to be saved to a file, keep the default folder that FrontPage sets up for you, _private, which is a hidden folder. Otherwise, site visitors may be able to browse to the folder where you keep your form results.
I keep getting an error message that tells me to contact my Webmaster.
Check the following:
Is your form configured correctly?
Do one of the following (depending on what kind of form it is):
Right-click the form, and then click Form Properties on the shortcut menu.
Double-click the form.
Does your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or web host have Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions installed?
Does your Internet Service Provider have Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions installed?
If you don't know, contact your web host or Internet Service Provider (ISP) and ask if FrontPage Server Extensions are installed on the server.
Are your form fields contained within a form?
When you want to create a form, FrontPage inserts a rectangular area outlined with a dashed line where you can add text and form fields. If your form fields are not inside this rectangular area, they won't work.
In Page view, click the form field that is outside the rectangular area.
Drag it inside the dashed line.
