The FrontPage Templates and HTML Web Templates come with several forms - none of them are activated, since they must work with YOUR website and fill your needs. There is a LOT of information in FrontPage about Forms, so following are just a few
brief tips...
Right-Click inside any form... a box will come up - choose "Form Properties".
This box is pretty straightforward - you must instruct the form where you want the results to be sent. The options given seem simple - do you want the results sent to a ".txt" file? Or, do you want the results to go straight into a database?
Study the options in the FrontPage Help section. There are varied levels of complexity, but if you just want the information to be emailed to you in a readable format, with the Fields and Answers together, choose the "OPTIONS" button...
Inside the Options area, there are four tabbed pages - read through these. You can select helpful options such as the Time, Date and Browser/IP address the form was sent from...
You can choose what
information will be displayed on the Subject and From lines if you have the form results emailed...
You can choose and direct the user to a personalized "Thank You" or "Confirmation" page when they have finished and submitted the
form.
Once you have made all of your selections, you simply Save the form page - when it's published to your website, the actions you have specified will be how the information your user/customer submits is sent to you!
