Feedback forms

Hi,

I have a new website. I have a feedback button that
appears to be working fine to input data and submit,
however, I'm not getting the submitted form to view. I'm
looking under folders/_private section in the FP manager.
Is that the right area to look for forms that were
submitted?

What I wanted to do was to see if I could have these
feedback forms emailed to an account.

Thanks

You can have the form results sent to an email account
that you designate but you cannot have the actual forms
sent to an email account. The forms the site visitor
fills out are NOT saved on the server. The Front Page
Extensions process the forms and send the results to an
email address, a text file, a datbase file, etc.

To send form results to an email account, right click
somewhere on the Front Page form within Front Page and
click Properties. There you will be presented with the
opportunity to specify an email address.

I hope this answers your question.

Hi marks,

The Frontpage form relies on the FPSE or FrontPage Server Extensions and publishing with FrontPage to http location. In addition, generally speaking, they rely as well on .htm or .html extension.

I have basic tutorials on my site which can help with building FP forms.

As to the _private folder, if you store results there, it would require opening your site live on the server to view the folders contents.

Sending thre form contents to email requires the server has sendmail set up to accomodate formmail.

Thanks for the info...the one thing that I don't
understand is that I installed another webpage exactly
the same way and the forms by default put the results in
the _private. Any ideas why this webpage may be
different?

Thanks
