Inquiry Form Help, Please

[Jerry]

Help, please! I'm running FP2000. I inherited a website that I am moving to
a new server with FP Extensions installed. The existing website includes a
form, which uses action="mailto:" to deliver the form, as follows:
<form id="ContactForm" action="mailto:[email protected]" method="post"
name="ContactForm" enctype="text/plain">

I want to change this, in order to use the FP extensions to handle the form,
but I really don't want to create the form again from scratch if I can avoid
it. I temporarily created a new form, and copied the following <form> data:
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
U-File="file:///C:/Documents and Settings/JLauder/My
Documents/smartkids/_private/form_results.txt"
S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" -->

If I replace the existing <form> information with the above copied <form>
info, and then publish it to the new server, should that allow me to be able
to set up the form properties after I get it online? Thanks very much for
your help.

Right click inside the form area, go to the form properties and click the
option "Send to Email". Put your email in the field provided. Click "OK"
to exit all the dialogues. Save the page with *.htm/*.html and publish the
page via http:// mode in Frontpage. Yoour host must have enabled the FPSE
mail transport component.

be sure to Hi Jerry,

After you make your changes to form properties, remove the following action
tag from the form HTML if it is still there. Use form properties for setting
up the email destination.

action="mailto:[email protected]"
