The feeback form collects user's feedback - it is just an alternative to
providing a normal email link.
The data is sent either to 1) a text file, 2) to your email address or to a
3) database or 4) the data can be processed by a third-party script which
can then do any of 1,2 or 3 above.
The first three options are the usual options that can be done on a
Frontpage enabled web server (with the server extensions) using the FP form
handler.
The form handler can send the data to:
1) A text File - which is viewable in such things as Notepad, and stored in
a folder called _private on the server (this folder can not be normally
browsed through a web browser).
2) To your email address - that's kind of obvious - just open your email and
read the messages.
3) To a database - use the database results wizard to manipulate and
retreive the data and display in a web (ASP) page. I
Any of the above options can be set up - make your form through Frontpage
(Insert > Form) and then add the fields (Insert > Form > [various form
fields eg text, textarea, dropdown box, radio button, checkbox, submit
button etc).
Once you have designed your form, right click within the form and select
"form properties" Select the option there to send the data to 1,2 or 3 as
stated at the beginning of my post.
Then publish by http to a Frontpage server extension enabled web server.
Test the form.
You'll get a default "Thank you" page. YOu can then try adding a custom
"thank you" page in the design of your own site.
If you're new to this, then practice makes perfect!
For beginning tutorials, I've found this site useful:
http://www.frontpagewiz.com - it has a tutorial on using the database
features in Frontpage as well as the all-round basics.
Hope this helps.
