I set up a form in MicroSoft FrontPage for people to RSVP online to my
wedding. I made the submit button a hyperlink to my email
(mailto:myemailaddress). When I try it out, it doesn't submit the form. A
page pops up saying URL not found. Please help!!! The website is
www.jasonandjessicaery.com/RSVPtrialpage3.html.

Any help is appreciated!!

Thanks,
Jessica

I would guess that the webbot has somehow corrupted the form.

You have
<form method="POST" name="RSVP" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

Try making it
<form method="POST" name="RSVP" action="">
and see what happens

Look at the source, in FP or in the browser - right-click, View Source. At
the top of the form near the <form> tag, the "U-File" attribute points to
your hard drive, not to a web address - that's your problem.

U-File="C:\Documents and Settings\Jessica\My
Documents\Wedding\Website\_private\form_results.txt"

This should be (something like)
http://www.yoursite.com/_private/form_results.text
not commencing "C:\....."

Which suggests you don't have a site open, only a page. Make sure your FP
web/site is open first, then open the page.

Are you trying to send this form data using the Frontpage Server Extensions,
and in which case, are you publishing via HTTP mode in Frontpage?

If not, then you need a third party script to send the email. (there's
plenty out there) start on www.hotscripts.com
or even http://www.ezmailer.net/ if you're on a Unix/Linux server.

Look at this solution, shows you how to set up the form using the server
extensions to send an email:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;196461 - this is for
FP2000, but for any other version it should be a similar process.

FP will never process an absolute URL as a web form property
It needs to be a relative URL as in
U-File="_private\form_results.txt"

1) Make sure you are working in a FP web (not just a page)
2) Change your form properties save result location to be a relative location w/ your FP web
U-File="_private\form_results.txt"
3) Remove the illegal hyperlink from within the form and add a submit button
Change
<a href="private.php?do=newpm&u=">private.php?do=newpm&u=</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2">
To
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1">
4) Check w/ your host if they support Email forms to outside of the server (most don't)
- yours send to S-Email-Address="(E-Mail Removed)"
- you may need to send it to a mailbox on your server as in
S-Email-Address="(E-Mail Removed)"
