Screen forms

Is there a program that I could use to screen and force manual data entry to
a form.

I mean one like Network Solutions use when you go to WHOIS so that automated
harvesters are blocked.

I have a small directory which allows for addition of customer links, but
are starting to get swamped by hundreds of garbage additions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Create required field the will only accept certain characters, then create a image with those
characters, and insert the image next to the field.

What you are looking for is called a "captcha" [1] which is an acronym.
FrontPage push button monkey code generators are insecure so you'll have to
code security manually. There are some real tricky work-arounds some people
have tried out. Do the search and find something that works for you...
