Can anyone tell me if the following is possible with FrontPage (2003)..?

I have a form which is configured to send me the results as an email,
using the FP form handler and FP extensions on the host. This all works
fine.

What I want to do now is for the subject text box in the form to have
specific text in it based on which page in my site the user has come from.
For example, if they came to the form from the page about motorcycling,
the subject would be "Bikes" or if from the page on my hobby of amateur
radio, "Radio" etc.

Is this possible..?

Not possible with just using FP, short of creating individual forms. Can be done with ASP, or any
server-side scripting language that allow you to grab the name of the sending/referring page.

Thanks, Thomas.

Actually, you might be able to do this with a JavaScript function to capture the QueryString value
of the hyperlink to the form, however I don't use JS that much, so I can't help.
