How to send a Form result to a email address

Guest

Can someone please help me.. I have a had website up now for a few months and have not been able to figure out how to get my Form result sent to me.. When I take out the email address they are saved to the server but going and looking them up in not time saving. I have talked to my web hosting company and they say that they have FrontPage Server Extensions 2003 on but the page gives me a error of " Cannot run the FrontPage server extensions on this page" and when I try uploading it says "This form cannot be configured to send results via email. The Web site may be located at a disk-based location, or on a server that has not been configured to send email. Contact your system administrator or Internet service provider for more info"...........Can someone please help me.
Thank you

There are no 2003 extensions. The host must install/enable the FP 2002 or
FP 2000 Server extensions for your account, then enable the forms to email
transport.

Your host may have the FrontPage Server Extensions installed, but they have
to perform an extra step to configure email support. They have to tell the
server that the server extensions are on which smtp (that's the type of
server mail is sent through) to use to send the emails. If this
configuration isn't set, you get errors like you're experiencing. A lot of
admins that aren't experienced simply apply the extensions onto a web site
without going through any of the configuration options so they miss things
like this without realising it.

Hope this helps,
