automatically entering information

[amanda]

Is it possible for Frontpage to automatically insert a
person's name and e-mail address into a form? Say I have a
form on my co. intranet. When someone pulls it up to fill
it out and submit it online, I want his name and e-mail
address to automatically be entered into the correct
fields.

Hi Amanda,

Yes, provided the information is entered at least one time. It is
accomplished with cookies. Using J-Bots Cookie components
http://www.websunlimited.com/order/product/Cookie/Cookie_help_dir.htm you
would use the Get Form Field cookie for the Name and Email address fields.
To set the fields you'd use Set Form Field.

If your intranet is using ASD and your employees use IE then you can query
ASD for the User Name and Email addresses via a control object.
