Submit data

RCEHousing

I need help with a form. When I click "submit" I would like the data my
clients filled out in the form to be submitted in email form to my email
address, but instead all that happens is Outlook opens a new email with the
target email address in the "to" field. How do I get my form to send the
data that has been entered to my email?

Here's my form:

http://www.rcehousing.com/page5.html

thanks!

Okay, first of all I'm assuming you mean that you are actually using
that web form and not a Word form. If so...you're in the wrong group.
If what you want is that the user goes to your web page and clicks
submit to have the data sent to you...then you need to find out what
email service your ISP (Internet Service Provider) uses. You should be
able to find that out from their web site. It'll be something like
Jmail or WhaleMail. Then your ISP should have instructions posted. You
need to set the object for your mail and capture the inputs from your
form and pass through the various objects/syntax of your mail program.

Depending on how you are coding your page, you can hit the ASP group
to get further help. Or, depending on the web app you are using, you
can check out this article for more info...

If you mean to make this form a Word form and just have it on your web
page for purposes of displaying the field info to us...let me know as
that's a whole 'nother can of worms.
