Send web form data securely

I just got FP2003 to help me design a web page that can send form data
securely. This is personal, health, and financial information. The web pages
are being hosted on Comcast's home pages until I can get enough money to do
something better.

I need to be able to send data that may be protected by state and federal
privacy laws so I don't want to email the data in clear text. Anyone know
where I can find detailed information about sending this information to an
Excel database or worksheet in an secure manner? I am not a programmer but
can understand and reuse other people's code if it isn't too complex.

Not possible unless your web host is willing to install PGP (http://www.pgp.com/) and you would also
have to have a local version installed as well, plus your site would also need to have a SSL
certificate for a secure connection between the user's PC and your web site for entering the data.

Yes, see PGP.com (secure email) and you will also need a SSL Certificate, these are the 3rd Party
applications/services that you need to allow users to connect securely to the web site and then for
the web site to send secure email.
