New To Front Page Please Help

Hello,

I created a web few web pages and managed to get a "Submit" button to send
me an email, the page also shows the visitor a form that they filled out.
FrontPage added the following code (I think this is what is doing it, it
looks commented out, so I'm not sure how the postback is sending the
email??):

<input value="Submit" type="submit">

<form action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" method="post">

<a name=top></a>

What I really want to do, is have an email sent to me with their data like
it already is then send the Visitor a Thank You email and redirect them to a
different page.

I don't know how to get to a code window in FrontPage either, I compiled the
pages in a different folder and edited the HTML page to send you the above
code.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Chuck

The FP Form Handler can not send the visitor a thank you email, however you can configure it to send
the user to custom confirmation page after submitting the form under Form Properties.

Thank for your help,

I am using Publisher 2000 and don't really understand how to make the submit
button send me an email then go to a different page.

I can create a new page that says what I want, but don't know what to put in
the Button Properties to accomplish this task. There doesn't seem to be a
code behind page available for the page (ie. "Page12").

I believe you are saying to make a new page ("Page13") and have the postback
of "Page12" send the email then go to the next page.

Sorry, I am at a loss.

Chuck

You may or may not have that option in MS Publisher, you need to post to the MS Publisher newsgroup
