Can someone point me to any tutorials etc on forms in FP?
I want to carry an article number over to an order page,
before ordering.Thanks

there is/ was a site www.frontpageforms.com
I'm not sure that you can pre-populate a FrontPage form. I think it may
require a custom written form handler.
generally it's done by adding the value to a query string or a hidden form
field then extracted when arrived at the form page and written into the form
as a "value".

Hi Michael,

This is best done with server side script, ASP etc. If you don't have
anything available you can do it with javascript like this

link to order page with article number
<a href="order.htm?1234">order</a>
and then pull out the article number and stick it into a form field
<input type="text" name="article" value="">
<script type="text/javascript">
var a = location.href.split("?")[1];
if(a)document.forms[0].article.value=a;
</script>
