Creating an Order Form

I created an order form and currently have it set to email me.
At first, when it came to me, all of the field names were displayed. This
was confusing but I found a check box that prevents this. Now when the
email comes to me, the stuff that makes up one row comes to me in one
column. Also none of other text (titles and so forth) show up.

I don't understand this at all.
 
It is a all or nothing for the field names in forms, also it depends on the format you selected for
the email

I have it set for HTML.
My form has fields that are 4 x 10 (40 fields). Obviously, I don't want all
the fields to display each time. That is to weird (not to professional
looking).

But when I did a test page using one row across, why did my results get sent
to me (email) vertical (as a column instead of a row).

I'm not using a database or any scripts. It's just a simple form that I
want emailed.

Strange
 
The FP Form Handler doesn't support sending HTML email.

The option is there because the form handler is also used with the Guest Book and Discussion Web.

I use FP to create forms, but then process via ASP.

I'm sure that is what most do. I shouldn't knock FP.
My real point is this. If FP is going to provide a way to eMail something,
i.e. a form, then it should be something better than what it is now...
other wise leave that feature off.
 
For basic things the FP form are just fine most users. You have outgrown the available
functionality.

I believe there is so much more FrontPage can do, that I'm not aware of.
But it is safe to say that I have a particular need, in which FrontPage
cannot do (for me) at this time.
Thanks anyway
 
I was only talking about the form functions. There is a lot that FP can do, however many of the
built-in functions have limitations.

I use FP because of it's ability to manage a web site locally and directly on a remote server.
