I'm having trouble with a submission form setup with
frontpage.

There are some users abusing this and I would desperately
like to get their IP address included in the results
emailed by the form.

I know this can be done with formmail.pl from NMS, but
the person who is working the site would like to keep
things simplfied.

Thanks!
 
if you click the form, then form properties, options, saved fields tab,
there's a checkbox for remote computer name. is this what you want?
 
Thanks,

I'll have a look tonight. (im at work now and won't be
able to check till later)

Paul.
 
In Form/Form Properties/Options/Saving Results...Additional Info. - I "think" this will do what you want.

Remember though that IP addresses are dynamic and change almost every time a
visitor logs off and back on their computer. Also AOL uses proxies, so
several visitors could come from the same IP address.
