frontpage forms

[Guest]

I have a component error on my form which I don't know how to fix? Can
someone please help. The error says

Saving form results to email will not work unless either the "SMTPHost" or
SendmailCommand" server configuration parameters are set

How do I do this?
Regards
Coralie

The form needs to be published to a server with FrontPage extensions,
using the http:// publish method.
The email address the form is sent to, needs to be one associated with your domain.
If your domain is myweb.com, the email address needs to be (e-mail address removed)

"username" can be any email account you've created in your domain account / web server
account

Did you verify that your host has enabled the forms to email transport with
the proper email address in the extensions?

I am told by the web host that for the form to work and email me results, it
must be and extension of asp not htm. As I'm new to this but are confident I
can do it, I will do more searching on the web, but helpful hints will be
gratefully accepted *smile*. Regards Coralie

Actually what your host has told you is incorrect (it is the reverse of what
they have said) : the form page must be named *.htm to work with the Server
Extensions form handler, not *.asp.

However, *if* you are using an ASP script e.g. your host may have provided
such a thing, to process the form data and send you the email, then yes,
the form file name should be [something].asp. You also then need to publish
the script you're using and make sure your host allows script to run, and
specifically scripts that send email.

Check back with the host and be very specific; you're using the FP server
extensions and you want them to be set to send the email. The ISP/Host
needs to set the SE mail transport feature (under the Admin settings for
IIS), as previously pointed out by Tom Willett.

I am told by the web host that for the form to work and email me results,
it
must be and extension of asp not htm. As I'm new to this but are
confident I
can do it, I will do more searching on the web, but helpful hints will be
gratefully accepted *smile*. Regards Coralie

with
the proper email address in the extensions?
