Guestbook - Not saving extra fields?

[Guest]

Howdy,

I wanted to put a quick guestbook feature on my website so I made one with
the included template in FP2003. Problem is for every entry, it shows Date,
Time, and Remote User. Is there a way I can modify the layout somehow so I
can put the date and time on the same line and get rid of the Remote User
field all together?

If I have to manually modify something that's fine, I'm just not sure what
to modify since it's a webbot.

Thanks.

Right click the form and choose form properties. On the Options
button->Saved Fields tag, clear all the boxes.

The time and date layout cannot be altered, but the fields can be
removed by setting the format for either (or both) to none.

I didn't realize that the guest book was just like any other form so I got
that figured out but have one other question...

The server that my site is hosted on is set to GMT. Is there any way to
configure Frontpage to know what timezone I'm in and to adjust the time it
uses? When I fill out the guestbook, it has a time that's about 6 hours
off...

No
- but contact your host as that is a setting they may be able to change for you

The form's timestamp is based on the server's system clock.
You can add a hidden field for the time and populate it with the users
system time using JavaScript, and set the Form's built in time field
to none (form properties->options->saved fields->time format =(none)).
This will give the time on the User's PC, but if used from around the
world may give odd looking results.
