I have a form that sends its results to an Access
database. On this form, I have a field that the user keys
in an email address. I want to be able to, in addition to
sending the form's contents to the database, to also send
an email with the form's information to the person whose
email address is put into the field.

Thanks for your help!

There are some convoluted schemes for doing what you
describe by chaining together multiple Save Results
pages. For example, the first Save Results page updates
the database, then displays a custom confirmation page
that auto-submits itself to send the mail. For example,

MSKB Article 275251
How to Send Form Results to a Database and E-mail Address
at the Same Time

provides the download link to 16-page procedure for doing
this through the FrontPage GUI.

Personally, I think its easier to learn the necessary ASP
techniques than to follow the 16-page procedure. If this
seems appealing, try these links:
