Using email address values from drop down box

[Mike]

I have created one form to be able to be used for several
possible email recipients so that I don't clutter up the
folder. I have placed the names on a 'drop-down box' and
creating each 'value' in the drop-down box as the email
address. When I press 'Submit' I want that 'value' to be
placed in the 'email address' portion to send the form
results to. I have named that drop-down box and have
placed that name in the 'email address' portion. I get a
confirmation page, but no email is sent.

Any ideas?

The FrontPage Save Results component can only send to a
fixed e-mail address.

To send to a variable address, you'll need to use a third-
party mail program, or write your own ASP page.

Most hosts provide one or more third-party mail programs.
For more info, for sample HTML, and for documentation,
consult your host's support pages.
