Guest

Hello
I'm making a charity site, and in that site i'm using a form, To which i
have made in frontpage 2003. My host has fp exensions installed. I have
looked for help in Frontpage but i can't understand it, I have entered my
emaill addrress into some foem or field in form properties but no mail is
going there, I have read that i should have something like send mail to path
/ur/ssr/sendmail or words tot hat description, if anybody knows what i am on
about and can help it would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks.

It *should* work if you right-click the form, choose Form Properties, select
Send To E-Mail Address, and type the address you want.

However, this *won't* work from FP Preview mode, or from a local disk-based
Web. It may work only after you publish the page to the hosted site.

If it doesn't work on the hosted site, your host may not support mailing
through the FrontPage Server Extensions, even though they support other
functions. In that case, consult your host's support pages for sample HTML.

....plus, the host must enabled to forms to email transport on the host
server extensions.

the issue with /ur/ssr/sendmail has nothing to do with the frontpage extensions.

All you do is put your email address int eh field "email" in the form properties.
publish the page and it should work (if your provider has the frontpage
extensions enabled, and allows the mail-transport feature.
