Is there a way to automatically send an email to a visitor if they fill out
a form where they list their email address? I'm using FP 2003.

You could ask your host if they could set up an auto-responder.

You can also set up your own form to email script.

If you don't get results from contacting your host, I can post a script.

It relies on the visitor having an email client which will be called from
their browser - usually the case.

HI Rick,

The question is ambiguous. Do you wish to send them a response at the time they complete the form or do you wish to send emails to
visitors that have completed the form at some later point? Each has a different answer.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of any way to automatically send a short
email to anyone who visits my site (whether they fill out a form or not)?
The email would be an invitation to fill out a short form telling me why
they visited our site and why the left without buying anything.

Thanks for your help.

You can only send an email if the site visitor provides you with their email address via a form.

The way I was thinking of is to generate an email from the form.

As has been stated, the visitor *must* fill in his email address for this to
work.

My way opens the visitor's email client with the entire email to him/her
displayed, which you may not. In any case, at this stage the visitor can
just abort sending it.

No doubt, the server-side approaches avoid this, but would still require
that the email address be entered. And, I think, a warning is still
displayed alogn the lines "An email has been generated. Do you want it to be
sent? "

I would take Thomas' advice on this one

Trevor, no warning message would be issue when the process is handled server-side.
