| Question to all, how can I configure my server that is running Windows 2000 Server to process web forms in front page. I want to create a form where the data is sent to an e-mail address? For example, if I create a form for requesting feedback from a website, how do I get the results? Can the results be in a form or does it come back in HTML format? Is a script involved?
Please help! need help in trying to figure out. | |

I don't see how using Frontpage changes the situation, but what you want is
some sort of form-to-mail script. There are plenty of them on the net, but
avoid the Matt Wright ones (the NMS ones are probably a good start, and
their site, amongst others, explains why you shouldn't use Matt's).
No, I don't have the addresses handy, else I'd mention them. Google for
them, it'll find them easily enough.

The data a user enters into a form is sent to a script on your webserver,
that script processes the data and does something with it. It could mail
you the results, it could include them on a database at the server, it all
depends on what you want and how it's programmed.
