Can I have multiple forms save to a single .csv file? Or, will each form over write teh data from the other?

Thats a good question!
I suspect the previous entries will be deleted.

Best bet is to try, but I think this will work.

However, each form will append its own combination of
forms fields, and if these are different, you may have an
awful time sorting out the data.

If you have different fieldnames within each form...won't it just append to the
end of the fieldname list?

I have that question too, but relates to Access database - my site(s) use mdb
files - but I have about three dozen of them! It would be better if I could
integrate all of them into the same mdb file. I don't have Access so I can't set
up separaate fields and tables within the one mdb which would be the idea way.

You would need to have the Access Application to combine the tables into one .mdb file.

It will not overwrite, but it will append the results
The only way the data will make sense is if both forms have all the same field names in the same sequence
(for fields only used in one form create a hidden empty field for the unused fields)

Frontpage may not be able to do it, but this site has PERL scripts that use csv
files www.ezscripting.uk.co
