The form will need to submit its captured values to a file that is going to be some sort of dynamic file-type, such as a php file, asp file, aspx file, etc. etc.

When it does submit to said file, that file needs to reside on a server with an equivalent parser. 99% of all web servers have a parser for at least one of the above-mentioned file-types.

The form on the CD will need to direct itself at a web server, so you'll need access to one and know what kind of parser it has. Often, if it's a Unix/Linux server, it's running Apache and probably has PHP installed. If it's a Windows server, it's running IIS and probably supports either/both ASP and ASPX.

Then again... some server setups might not accept form values from a form that doesn't reside on the same server (In your case, it resides on a CD). You'll have to look into that some more.
