I am new to macros and Frontpage. I have created an interactive form for end
user to input data in fields and choose selections in other fields. The form
needs to be submitted directly to my email box.

Hyperlinks aren't working (default mail not set up correctly????) so I
thought about a macro to associate with an icon/image so once user clicks
icon, the form will submit via preset email address.

Am I asking for something more complex than actually could be?

Macros won't work, they only perform actions for you within the FrontPage
client, not your web page. The only real way to get a form to be sent to you
is to use a form handler, such as the one provided by the frontpage server
extensions, in order to process the message and send a message to your email
account. It can't drop it directly into your mailbox, but it can send an
email to it.

Just a follow up to this question.
Is there any way to create your own submit button? Or do you have to use the
one that is created when you insert the form? I would like to replace the
defautl submit button to a different graphic.
Thanks.

What I have is a cartoon character specifically designed as my logo for my
intranet software (RoboHelp) that I wanted to use as my "submit" button. But
based on Fitzpatrick's response, I will have to use other methods of sending
from a webpage as he suggested. If this works with my icon, I'll let you
know if you can create your own successfully.

Thank you.
I actually just searched the board and found the answer.
Insert>form>picture. then browse to the graphic you want to use and it works
great.
Hope this helps you as well.

If I recall correctly it's in the forms tools/ form fields. I believe it
was called an "advanced button" where you could use an image instead of a
"regular" button.
