Please discuss with me how to activate an email auto responder within a front
page 2003 form..
 
IIRC I don't believe FP can do that, you'd need to use a script to process
the form and handle the auto response.
 
I have an auto responder setup and working with GoDaddy and the email address
- I just can't get the submitter from my website form to receive the auto
responder that is set up - how can I get this to work? I see simular
questions in the forums, but no real answers - I NEED a real solution
please...
 
You got a Real Solution: you will need a custom written
server-side script to process the form. The script itself is
going to depend on what your host allows for scripting and
for your form contents.

If you are using a FrontPage extensions form, the autoresponder will have
to work from the Reply-to header in the email, not from the From header
which is the normal configuration.

Otherwise, as others have mentioned, write your own script to process the
form.
 
I'm really not sure what that really meann or entails - I just want a simple
solution to a simple request - use an Auto Responder service...
 
Writing an auto-responder is not a "simple solution". You will need to find
a script that incorporates that functionality - that will send you the email
from the form, and that will send a response back to the sender who filled
in the form.

Many sites exist that provide scripts such as you are asking about - start
with www.hotscripts.com and www.ezscripting.com to name a couple. Also, do
a Google search : "auto responder email HTML form".
