How I got my Form to work.

I use an ftp program to upload my website made with Publisher 2000. I'm
sure there is many ways to do this but what I figured out was to call my
webhost
and ask them to email me the address for there form control processor or
something like that and the html to make it work or you can use the one
below after you make the necessary changes. Just play around with it and
you can test it in preview to see if it works.

You will need to make 4 changes to the html code below.

1 The correct address for your webhost form processor

2 Your email address or where you want the results to go.

3 the address of where you want them to go after they click submit, mine is
back to my main page.

4 Is what you want the email subject to say. The one below says WORK
WANTED.

<FORM METHOD="POST"
ACTION="http://www.yourhost.com/utils/FormProcessor.cmp">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="my_email" VALUE="your email address here"><INPUT
TYPE="hidden" NAME="thankyou_url" VALUE="the address of where you want them
to go after they click submit"><INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject"
VALUE="WORK WANTED">



You copy the HTML above and put your submit button on the page and click
(HTMlL CODE FRAGMENT) paste it in make the box smaller and move it next to
the submit button, Right click on submit button and left click on (COMMAND
BUTTON PROPERTIES) and add the form processor address that your ISP gives
you. something like this, "http://www.your
host.com/utils/FormProcessor.cmp" to the Data Retrieval Information.

Form Method should be set to POST

This really is not hard to do. Good luck, Jim
