Form Results question

I created this prayer request form for my church, and the
results are sent to me. However, somewhere in the form
results, I need to have the form automatically add a
sentence like "Please visit this website to fill out the
Prayer Request Form." How could that sentence be
automatically included in the form results?

Thanks for any help!

If using the FP Form Handler, it makes no sense to add this wording to the form results, as you will
be the only one seeing it, when you receive the emails.

See: Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 205756 "HOW TO: Submit Form Results to Multiple Files or Email Recipients in FrontPage 2000". While the purpose of this article is to explain how to use a form to send form information to multiple email addresses, it also talks about the results page and creating a custom confimation form (confirm.htm). WARNING: Watch this confirm.htm method that this article talks about! Although Frontpage is sending the form results to multiple email addresses when using just the default confirmation page (the confirmation file field is left blank), when I have tried to create a custom confirmation form, frontpage is getting into a loop and resending hundreds of duplicate form results to all the addresses!!! ken, MCP
 
Sorry - I guess I should have said that when the form
results are sent to me, I then forward them to about 30
people (I have to moderate it).

I have tried daisy-chaining the confirmation pages before
and fell into the loop - it sent about 150-200 emails to
everyone! It was horrible!

Any more ideas?

Sounds like you just want to add your tag line to the email you forward to your 30 people? A signature line in the email program (Outlook) could add that tag.

Glad to hear that someone else has had the loop problem with daisy-chaining the confirmation page. Must be a frontpage programming error.
 
Yeah, my email program could do it, but isn't there a way
that FrontPage could? What about a hidden field? Isn't
that what they can do?

Thanks! :)

Yes, you can use a hidden form field for this.

Or in Design view right click the form and select Form Properties Advanced - Add
For the Name enter: VisitNote
For the Value enter: Please visit this website to fill out the Prayer Request Form.

also you'd need to then add that field name to the "include results" list in form
properties, so that it is emailed to you.

You could make a hidden field <input type="hidden" name="....." value="Please
visit this site....."> then include the field name in the form properties, so
that it will be sent with the other form data.
