I think you may have forms confused - they have no connection to Access data
access pages.

100% correct. Apologies I think I maybe phrased it wrong.

I have a Data access pages which allows users to fill it
in (i.e a form but not an Access form). The form then
needs to be emailed to myself.

I have tried using the docmd.sendobject but get an error
everytime which i have notbeen able to get to the bottom
of.

I have tried using the Front Page Form buttons (submit
and Reset) and inserting the Data access page into the
form, however the combo boxes lose their data.

SoI need a way to email a dtata access page, vbut to dat
cannot find one.

Any Help would be highly appreciated.

The term "data access page" is an Access component. On the web a form is
called just that - a form. If this is what you mean it is quite easy. THis
is FP 2002 but it will be almost the same in other versions.

1) On your page select Insert|Form|Form. You'll get a box on the page with
Submit and Reset buttons.
2) Unse the Insert|Form menu to add the form components - text boxes, option
buttons, etc.
3) Add labels and other design elements.
4) Right click the form and select Form Properties. Under Send to enter an
email address. Delete the file name.

There are more details but these are the basics. Look in Help for more info.

Correct

The problem is I want to use information in the pull
downs that I have in an Access database, otherwise for
each pull down box I have to create myriad of options,
and then uodate my database manually as well with the
same options for entry once i have received the info from
the web.

I believe the best way to do this is to create an ASP page. The script code
would query the database and populate the dropdowns on the form.
