I have those instructions. How do I customize the ASP Page. If I copy all
that code I am not sure where I have to enter my own information.

Are you using the DB results wizard/Frontpage form handler? In the GUI you
can specify your email address and/or the DB name to send the results to.

I don't know if you can do *both* though - it's one or the other.

In modifying an normal ASP page, you can edit it within Frontpage. (File >
Open etc).

You can't modify the ASP code that FP creates for its "webbot" components
(database wizard for example). It will change it back if you attempt to save
the changes.

Otherwise if you're using an external third party ASP mailer script, follow
the instructions from the site you obtained it from.

Sorry, this is not a true statement. You can modify the gray-colored code
and save your changes while still in Code view, and your changes will be
saved. You will notice that once you've saved your changes they are also
made to the maroon colored code - that is by design. The maroon colored code
should never be touched; it's generated by the gray code at save time.
 
I am truly in desperate need of how I can use the below instructions for my
database. I tried the directions with the sample instructions and it still
didn't work. HEL!!!

You need to check with your web host to see if CDONTS is supported.

Are the instructions the ONLY way to make this happen?

No, but you would need to have the knowledge to hand code with VBScript or search for how tos and
it also depends on the ASP Email Component installed on the server by the web host, so you really
need to contact them unless you are self hosting, then you would need determine if you have CDONTS
or CDOSYS installed

I was not getting any errors, nothing was happening when I submitted the
form. I have moved on to the below instructions.

Microsoft has a white paper - Frontpage 2002 How to Send Form Results to a
Database and an Email Address and Use the File Upload Component
Simultaneously. I have gotten throught those instructions, I receive the
email and the text file updates, but I cannot seem to get it to write to the
database. Can anyone help?
