Sending to more than one email address

A

I have gone through the tutorial regarding setting up
Page1 and Page2 forms for multiple email addresses.
However, the tutorial stopped short of telling me how to
make this work. It seems the Page2 form calls the Page 1
form??? So I make 2 identical files with the exception of
the email and I call Page 2 for the user to fill in?

It's very confusing - not enough info.

Thanks in advance.

What Tutorial? Post a link.

What I've been doing for a few years now is using a server
side solution called Multi-Recipient Addresses - Ask your
hosting provider if they have this, the better ones will
provide this free of charge as part of the hosting.

What you do is make 2 identical forms like you said with the only difference
being the output address (copy and paste the entire form 1 to the second
page so you are sure all of the form data is identical, then just change the
output address and the response page link. The visitor fills out the form on
page1, then everything else is done behind the scenes). Then make the page
containing form 2 the response page for form 1 (you must have already
created the second page or FrontPage will send an error message when saving
the first page. You don't need the form on it yet, but the page must
physically exist in your web to avoid the error message. The link will still
work once you create the page, but doing it first avoids the annoyance of
the error message). Then you can use the default response page or make your
own for the visitor to see when submitting the form (make sure you link to
it from the last form page in your chain if you choose to make a custom
response page, if you choose the default response page, make sure there is
no response page link in the last form page of your chain). You can add as
many pages in this chain as you need e-mails generated (there may be a
limit, but I haven't found it yet). You simply make the next form page the
response page for the previous form page. If you make changes to the form,
you need to make the same changes to the other page or pages to keep the
output data consistent.
