FP2000: How to Set Up a Form to Post Results by E-mail

ID: Q196461


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft FrontPage 2000


SUMMARY

This article describes how to set up a form to submit results as an e-mail attachment rather than saving the results in a file. Note that some browsers may not support the mailto Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

NOTES:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer, versions 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 do not support the inclusion of form output to a mailto URL.


  • Posting results by e-mail works only if the client has a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) compliant e-mail system.



MORE INFORMATION

To set up a form to submit results as an e-mail attachment, follow these steps:

  1. In Page view, create a form.


  2. Right-click any object in the form, and then click Form Properties on the menu that appears.
    The form is outlined by a dashed box.


  3. In the Email Address box, type the e-mail address of the recipient.


  4. Click OK.

    NOTE: If the FrontPage Server Extensions are not configured to send a form in e-mail format, the following message appears:

    The FrontPage Server Extensions have not been configured to send e-mail. Please direct your system administrator or Internet Service Provider to the instructions in 'Setting Up Your E-mail Options on Windows' or 'Setting up Email options on UNIX' in the Server Extensions Resource Kit. If you do not have the Server Extensions Resource Kit, you can find it at http://www.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk.

    In this case, click Yes and contact the server administrator for help setting up the extensions to send e-mail.


NOTE: This error message may appear if you do not set a value for both the SMTPHost and the SendMailCommand parameters in the Microsoft Console Manager. Which command you use depends on whether you are running a CERN- or an ISAPI-based server.
