Hi Jessica As I say, the folder 'Fillable' does indeed exist not only on the real server but on my home development server and this problem persisted on both platforms. The filenames are correct (not only did I double check them but I actually copy and pasted the filenames into my html page to be sure I was not making any mistakes) and the 'Fillable' folder shows up on the server when I upload into it from my ftp client. I'm not saying that I really know the answer but when I carried out the steps I mentioned (i.e. removing those form elements and resaving as .doc 97-2007 word document) it started working. it is now working for the 8 different documents I needed. I would love to have used the original docs I created but I didn't want to spend another 8 hours on this. Thanks for your suggestions

Hi Christine F Thanks for the help. I finally found the solution and it was not related to incorrect URl or folder names or filename. As I said, I created a fillable form in Microsoft Word under the 'Developer' tab (one must enable this). I created fillable text boxes, date fields and drop down menu choices. All this was easy enough but I simply could not download these docx document from the page. I don't know why. I tested ordinary Word documents and they worked fine but these .docx fillable forms simply would not budge. They led me straight to a 404. So I think the reason was to do with some of the form elements (date field etc.) of the form doc, I was having compatibility issues. I removed these elements and replaced them with ordinary text boxes and I then saved the doc as a 97-2003 Word doc (.doc) and it worked. I didn't change any html as I was sure I did not have incorrect URL or filenames/paths. So it works now and I'm not really sure why not before but as I say, all I did was save as earlier version and remove some form fields. I'm now almost 8 hours finding this solution and I thought I'd be out of here in 2. Thanks again for all your suggestions

I'm having a big problem that I just can't seem to solve. I have links in my web pages to word docs in the following format: <a href="http://www.panceltic.ie/media/Fillable/2013/Piping.doc" title="Camogie Entry Form" >Download Entry Form</a> My problem is that the doc will not open. It does not lead to the standard 'open with (Microsoft Word) or Save as' dialogue box. It simply lead to a 'Page cannot be found' web page. The URL is correct, the doc name and location is correct. I just cannot figure it out. I have created microsoft word docs with form elements on them (text boxes etc.) that can be filled out by the user and saved then as ordinary word documents. This is a facility in word to allow me to create fillable forms andsave them as ordinary word docs. This is normal. I don't see how this could effect them downloading to a users PC. I have tested other docs and they are indeed downloading OK but not these newly created ones. Is there a way I can overcome this issue?? Can anyone help???

Thank you mikosiko I solved the problem by copying the word table into excel and simply using the import option in phpMYAdmin (from spreadsheet) and it brought in all the records as I wanted it. In the end it was really simple Thanks again

I forgot to mention that my mysql version is 5.5.8 Thanks

Hi I have a table (names_eng) created with the following fields: order family species_name common_name species_author I also have a list of 10,000 records with five fields each that I have converted to a csv file in excel. The list looks something like this in excel (the first 8 records - 40 lines): STRUTHIONIFORMES Struthionidae Struthio camelus Common Ostrich Linnaeus, 1758 STRUTHIONIFORMES Struthionidae Struthio molybdophanes Somali Ostrich Reichenow, 1883 STRUTHIONIFORMES Rheidae Rhea americana Greater Rhea (Linnaeus, 1758) STRUTHIONIFORMES Rheidae Rhea pennata Lesser Rhea Orbigny, 1834 STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Casuarius casuarius Southern Cassowary (Linnaeus, 1758) STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Casuarius bennetti Dwarf Cassowary Gould, 1858 STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Casuarius unappendiculatus Northern Cassowary Blyth, 1860 STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Dromaius novaehollandiae Emu (Latham, 1790) Can anyone tell me the sql syntax to import this data from the csv file into the names_eng table so that the first 5 entries from the csv file become the first record in the names_eng table and the next 5 entries from the csv file become the 2nd record in the names_eng table etc. as shown below: order family species_name common_name species_author STRUTHIONIFORMES Struthionidae Struthio camelus Common Ostrich Linnaeus, 1758 STRUTHIONIFORMES Struthionidae Struthio molybdophanes Somali Ostrich Reichenow, 1883 STRUTHIONIFORMES Rheidae Rhea americana Greater Rhea (Linnaeus, 1758) STRUTHIONIFORMES Rheidae Rhea pennata Lesser Rhea Orbigny, 1834 STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Casuarius casuarius Southern Cassowary (Linnaeus, 1758) STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Casuarius bennetti Dwarf Cassowary Gould, 1858 STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Casuarius unappendiculatus Northern Cassowary Blyth, 1860 STRUTHIONIFORMES Casuariidae Dromaius novaehollandiae Emu (Latham, 1790) Any help would be great Thanks
