Order Forms

[JCO]

What is the easiest way to have an order form. I use FrontPage Extensions
and my server is Unix. Therefore, I believe the database idea is out.

No, databases can be used. PHP scripting and a MySql database is common for
Unix/Linux based servers
(that is, if your host supports scripting in PHP and hosts a MySql DB.

OR, you can try these: www.ezscripting.co.uk.

Simple flat-file database scripts. This could form the basis of an order
form, if you want nothing more than just to collect orders, rather than
having a full blown e-commerce system.

We don't want the full blown e-commerce.
Just a method for an order form to be emailed to a specific person. Then
that person will call the customer to complete the transaction.

Hi
Create a form in FP right click the form and select form properties and then
select send to and enter an email address in the email field

Paul,
Can you elaborate on how this is done more.
Previously, I created something like a guest page because I know that sends
the comments to the server. It already has a "Submit" & "Reset" button on
it.

Is their a template already in FP for a form? How do I link it to an email?
I guess I should delete what I have done already, and start over.

Thanks
