Form Question

[Bill Rossi]

I am the webmaster for an Intranet site set up using Frontpage 2002. One of
my web developers has created a form. When the user clicks Submit, the form
contents are emailed to him.

The FROM line always shows my email address on the email he receives,
instead of the sender's email address. Can anyone explain why this might
be?

Here is the form code. John Doe would be the developer who receives the
email.

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" target="_top"
name="Membership">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="_private/form_results.txt"
s-format="TEXT/PRE" s-label-fields="TRUE" b-reverse-chronology="FALSE"
s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="(e-mail address removed)"
b-email-label-fields="TRUE" b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE"
s-email-subject="BAAC Membership Submission" s-builtin-fields
startspan --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" --><p><label
for="name1">Name:</label><br>
<input type="text" name="Name" size="20" id="name1"></p>
<snip - other form fields>
<div align="center"><center><p><input type="submit" value="Submit"
name="Submit"><input
type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</center></div>
</form>

The email is coming from the server, not the person submitting it.

Tom,

Thanks for the quick response. This raises 2 questions:
1. Where is the server getting my email address from?
2. Do I have to add a form field that the user fills in in order to get
their emial address?

The form is being sent to: s-email-address="(e-mail address removed)"

Yes add a text field (named say Email) and in the form properties options select the Reply-To field option and enter the field name
(Email)
The mail will still come from your server, but when you select Reply To you will see their address

Bill,
I believe the from address comes from the setup of the
server extensions. What I have done on mine is to set up
another email address called form, so the emails come to me
as (e-mail address removed), and I have a from field in the form for
the users email address and/or name
HTH
