Hello,

I am trying to put a FrontPage E-mail form on an ASP page.
The problem I am having is that when I fill out the form
and submit it, it just submits back to the ASP page but
does not do the FrontPage Server Extension email. It is
supposed to go to a thank you page. I know in the past I
have had this same problem so we put a COM object on the
server for doing mailings.

I now have another user who does not know how to write
VBScript so the FrontPage functionality once again becomes
important. Please let me know if there are any solutions
to this problem.

you CAN use the fp form on an asp page but you have to do it this way:
make your form on a plain htm page. You can even delete everything but the
form, like the head of the page , even the body tags. configure the form
the way you want and then put it on your asp page with an asp include <!--
#include blah, blah, blah --> and it will work. I was surprised at it
myself but it works. see www.healthbusinessandpolicy.com where it's
working.

The reason for the ASP page is because the entire site is
done in ASP. Originally it was only going to be maintained
by our Web group (who could program with our COM objects).
This new person is not from the group and would not be
able to handle the programming aspects. For a quick fix,
the post below works. In the long run, this will have to
be designed more efficiently.

Thanks for your help.

oddly enough it's even possible for it to work in a most round about way
with php:

and a lucky instance of something working when it shouldn't ;-)
