1) to validate the form fields;
right click each field, select properties/validation. Choose from the
options there incuding eg making a field accept only digits, limit the
size (or enforce that it must be 10 digits etc).
2) There must be resources around that have a drop down box for the US
states.....just give Google a search
else make your own, as below within <select> and </select> tags.
Copy the following into Notepad, then into the code in the place you want
it in your frontpage web (code view)

Yes the Frontpage GUI *is* the "wizard" if you like. To insert forms go
to Insert > Forms > [choose the form field type]
Pretty easy really. You may need to play around with it.
To enter the above states (if you don't copy and paste - this is the
easiest way ).....Insert > Form > Dropdown Box
Then double click the form in the design view and enter the state name in
the "option" and "value" field for each state. Click OK, or "Add".

I have finally figured out how to get the forms to work (3 days) and email
me the results
now I need to know how to make sure the form users put only one type of
info in the slots, like phone number must be 10 digits no letters , email
must contain @ etc, and to return errors so form user can correct it
before submitting.
How do I add drop down boxes with states?
I have designed nice looking pages but haven't had to do forms before.
I am primarily an artist not a web developer, I can do simple coding
changes if you tell me where to input it and what to type in. Or is there
is some kind of easy wizard in FP like other things?
