Need some help...

Thanks for your work on this script and the many others. Very valuable tools.

I am attemping to run Docappender and am just about there, but when I select the submit form option, instead of having the file open with the fields to enter, I get an error message that says:

 

 

Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist.

 
Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks

Problem of practice

How can I get a Google Form to add content to the end of a user-selected Google Document?

Solution

The docAppender script installs on the form-containing spreadsheet and provides users a web app where they can easily select which document they want to append. This is especially useful for logging meeting takeaways or keeping running records on faculty or student files. Very mobile friendly, as all usage involves URLs that can be loaded in a smartphone or tablet.
