How can I change the from address in my form in frontpage 2003.
When I recieve my completed form back in my email, it has my email address
in the from field. How can I change that to something different.

right-click on the form and choose form properties

Do you mean something different from where it's actually coming
from?...don't think so.

The From address is set in the FrontPage extensions configuration - you
will have to ask your host to change it - if they do, it will be fixed
for all forms using the FrontPage extensions.

If you wish to see the users email address, in Form Properties (Options)
set the Reply To field to use the users email address form field. This
address will show when you click Reply in the email client.

The user has to enter their email address, however this will not change the email address use to
send the email to you. However if you select to reply to the email, then you will see the user email
address if they have entered it.

I have done all this on my form in my website, and when clicking on "Reply"
it does indeed work and put the form field "email" in the "To" field.

*BUT* when I use a rule in Outlook to auto-reply to the message, the "From"
field is used to reply to (which is the default set in IIS) not the
"Reply-To" field (which is the users email that they filled out in the form
!?!?!?
(VERY frustrating)
Is there any way to fix this???

Suggest you try the Outlook newsgroup, as it is not a FP related issue.
