I am trying to host a form and collect data on my company's shared drive which anyone on our network can access. When creating the submit button I get the error message, "You need to be running inside a web browser in order to submit this form".  The drive location I am using is \\xx.xxxxxx.com\P:\sharedrive\file location\subfolder.

Thanks,

A submit button is not like a "save".  It sends to a web server which runs a web script like CGI ASP PHP etc. you cannot use a file: URL, still less a Eindiws pathname.
