I am using FP2003 and want to set up email verification to stop spam emails
coming through our web email contacts. I've looked under Help and couldn't
find anything.
Any suggestions welcome.

thanks
 
You'll need to ask users to repeat some sort of phrase or series of letters
and/or numbers. These characters are usually placed in an image to make it
more difficult for spam engines to identify them. Then you can have the user
enter the same phrase into a box and, with a little javascript, make sure
that what they entered is what you were expecting.

FP 2003 wasn't designed with this feature as it's a fairly new development
in web design practices. The technical term for this is CAPTCHA. You can
search google for JavaScript Captcha scripts, as well as
javascript.internet.com and www.dynamicdrive.com
 
hi Mark

thanks for the clarification, I had read an earlier question, but hadn't
associated the term CAPTCHA with what I was trying to do.

so thanks again
