Customizing Confirmation Page

I am creating an online supply reorder form for my company intranet.
There are about 140 items listed with form boxes for employees to
indicate the amount they want of that particular item.

The problem I am trying to figure out has to do with the confirmation
page. Currently, I have all the items listed on the page and then
confirmation fields set up next to each of them. It works, but if an
employee orders 1 item, now they have to scan through 140 items to see
if they ordered the right item.

I'd like to figure out a way to set up my confirmation page so it only
shows the items and quantities that were ordered.

Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

Probably not possible with the FP form handler (i.e. won't omit blank
fields) so you need to find an alternative solution - there's plenty of
scripts on the web to email the contents of a form, and many of those would
probably support being able to suppress any blank fields.

Other alternative is to have the form write to a database, and then you can
use the database results features/write a script to set up a search routine
find the products and display them on the screen in the web page.

Being an intranet, you can probably then go straight to the database file
(if it was an MS Access db) open that in access and find the data required
(or again, set up search routines within Access/create queries etc).

The quick answer I reiterate, is the form handler in Frontpage will display
everything (blank fields or not), so can't be done too easily.
