asp script for forms result

I am struggling to come up with a way to save a forms'
results, to a text file, but the name of the text file
comes from the input of a user name on another forms...

ex. john doe enters pg1 & enters his name in a space on
the page (form) . this links him to the next page,
pge_form. I need the results of page_form to be named
johndoe.txt

Thank you very much for any help at all...

Where is your problem? Is it passing the results of the first form
through the second? Or creating a new named text file? And why must
it be two forms? Using POST or GET?

I can actually have it all on 1 page... the problem is the
end result with the naming of the text file .... Should
create an individual file named %varaible%.txt

Thanks
Dave

Page 1:

<form method=post action="process.asp">
Name: <input type=text id=UserName><br>
Favorite Color: <input type=text id=FavColor><br>
Name a scary animal: <input type=text id=ScaryAnimal><br>
<input type=submit>
</form>

Page 2:

<%
If Len(Request.Form("UserName")) > 0 Then
Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TStream = FSO.CreateTextFile("C:\Path\You\Desire\" & Request.Form
("UserName") & ".txt")
For Each Item in Request.Form
If Item <> "UserName" Then
TStream.Write Item & ": " & Request.Form(Item)
End If
Next
TStream.Close
End If
%>

Note: this code is untested, and is off-the-top-of-my-head, so there may
be some bugs. Note also that there is virtually no error-trapping to
make sure that UserName is a valid filename value... if somebody were to
type in "?" (for example) the code would break.

I'll leave the error-trapping up to you.

You mean like:

strName = Request.Form("Name")
FileName = strName & ".txt"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set TextFile = filesys.CreateTextFile(FileName, True)
TextFile.WriteLine("This is a line of text")
TextFile.Close
