Not possible using the FP Form Handler, requires the use of a custom written
server-side script such as ASP, PHP, etc.

No. Since you can use ASP, then you need to write a custom ASP Form Handler
to process the form data.

Plus you are using the FileUpload feature of FP2002/FP2002 SE (not just a form)
- does that mean you are also trying to send the email address the attachment

Not possible w/o ASP or CGI




| Any hints on how to do this without ASP support?

If your server supports Perl scripts (CGI) you will need to contact them for the access path to the Perl engine and then search the
web for a CGI script that tries to do what you want (or write your own script)
You can send a FP form to a custom Perl script for processing




| Is it possible with CGI and FP forms? If so, are there any guides/sites that will point me in the right direction?

| Thanks!!
