I want to be able to collect e-mail addresses and the first names of people
who visit my website and voluntarily enter the information. What do I have
to do in order to do this?

You can then use the Database wizard tools to create a form that writes data
to a database.

First create a form in the usual manner.

1) Then in Form Properties in the "send data to" section choose "Database"
and click the 'Advanced' tools (I think) and in that second screen it will
take you through the steps to make the access database and allow you to
specify options like which fields to write to theDB and to specify an custom
'thank you' page and that kind of thing.

2) The easier way is to choose the "send to" 1) email address and 2) text
file in the form properties, once you've created the form (as above). You
will receive the info being sent to you by email and also the form processor
will send the data to an ascii text/csv file, stored in the _private folder

For 1) to work you need ASP enabled and the FPSE on a windows server. For
(2) to work you need the FPSE on either Linux/Unix or Windows with the mail
transort element enabled by your host and proper permissions for the
_private (or _results(?)) folder so it can be written to.

Also you need to make the email address one that is related to your website
domain or to the ISP/Host's domain.

(E-Mail Removed) on www.yoursite.com won't work but (E-Mail Removed) will -
but this depends on the configuration of the server by the host.
