Hi! We have two forms that both save the data to a database table and also generate a XLS file (export) after the DB save. So the mew data is first saved, then read back from the db table and then save to an XLS file. This works fine.
The issue is: When the output folder (where the XLS file is placed) is created by Chronoforms for the first time an index.html file is also created. When this index.html file is present in the folder, the file XLS file can be saved (overwritten) the next time a form is submitted. Just as we would like to happen. But when we delete the index.html file there is an error that says the folder can not be created and the XLS file is not saved (overwritten).
We solved this by putting the index.html file back, but why does this happen? And is this by design or a bug?
Kind regards,
Jip
