emailing form

Using FP2000, I need to create a form for clients to fill in. Then I want
them to be able to email this form, filled in, with the formatting intact.
In other words, I don't want the results page to be just the list along the
left side of the page. I want it to come over looking just like it did on
the screen in the first place. Am I asking too much???
Thanks,
Pam
 
A little follow up to my question above - does anyone know of a forms
package that could be added to FP? I have tried to use Adobe Acrobat, but
the form cannot be filled in and emailed unless each customer has a full
copy of Acrobat, not just the reader portion.
Thanks again,
Pam
 
Not possible when using the FP Form Handler, requires the use of
service-side scripting such as ASP, PHP, etc. to accomplish by sending HTML
email.

There is no package. Check with your host to see what they support.

Click to expand...

Maybe. Right-click your form, choose Form Properties,
click the Options button, and then the E-Mail results tab.
The E-Mail Format drop-down list on this tab give you
several options for formatting your mail.

If none of these are acceptable, you may have to forget
using the FrontPage Save Results component and instead
write your own program code to compose and send the
message. This isn't terribly difficult in ASP or ASP.NET
if you have some elementary programming skills.
