email?

Open a page and at a point of your choosing, then choose Form | Form from
the Insert drop down menu. It will set up a Submit and a Reset button.
Now return to the Insert drop down menu and choose form and then click on
the type of entry that you wish.

Right click in the Form area and in the Form Properties dialog box that
opens, enter the e-mail address that you want the infromation sent to. When
you click OK, it will prompt you stating that the site doesn't have
FrontPage Server Extensions installed, do you want to remove the e-mail
address, reply NO.

You will also want to create a confirmation page.

You are a long way from finished but this is a start. There are two
four-letter words that you should come to love and respect: HELP and READ
(as in the FrontPage Help and read the information provided. Use it and
save yourself a lot of time and headaches.

Good luck1

You need a form for the user to enter the information and a
response/confirmation page for accepting the data and passing the email
message to an email server to send it.

But here's the complication
If you want to use frontpage to send the email you need to have the
server admin to configure it to connect to an email server.

If you want to use an ASP for the response page you also need to
configure. You will need an ASP email API installed to work with IIS or
use MS email components such as CDONTS or CDOSYS. If you want your web
server to handle th email you must enable the SMTP server. I assumed the
web server is Windows.

In other words, talk to the Webmaster/admin.
