retrieving information from forms

[Guest]

I just published a web for the first time. The web site has two forms (product satisfaction survey & contact us) from which I would like to retrieve informaiton. The hosting company techs have told me that I need to change the HTML code on each form so that I can have the information sent to an e-mail address. If this is true - what code do I change to do that? I have version 2000 of FrontPage. I assume it is one of the values colored gray in the HTML page. Thanks. cosoti

You can leave the email notification format set to html if you want, but set up the database part of the form now. I use .csv format. FP will save the results in a file called formresults.csv (you can modify the name). Then whenever I want the results I copy down the formresults.csv file and import it into Excel...piece o'cake. This is easier that taking info from your email notifications...note that it can still send you the email notifications as well.

by "copy down" i didn't mean with a pencil and paper...i meant copy the file down to local machine

If you are using the FP Database component to store the data in Access, etc. then see:

You were lead astray by the techs a bit.

View your form in Front Page. Right clik within the
dotted lines (the actual form). Select Form properties
from the context sensitive menu. Look for something that
says email address on the dialog box.

Once you have entered the email address and clicked OK,
you will receive a message that makes you feel like you
did something wrong. It is trying to let you know that in
order to use this feature you must publish the site to
your host. Just click OK.
