E-mail Data Base

[DM#]

Hello,

I am looking to add a link where visitors can enter there name and e-mail
address, and have it forwarded to me by e-mail or added directly into a data
base.

Is this an option in Publisher 2003?

Thanks
Dirk

You could use the built-in form tool:

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
It is written for Pub 2007, but if you are using IE7 instead of IE6, then
the directions for using Vista would apply.

Or, as you only want the name and email address, you could just use a simple
javascript based "form". There are lots of free scripts for this, but here
is one that you can insert into your page using the "insert html code
fragment" tool. Edit, copy and use Ctrl + V to paste:



<FORM action=mailto:[email protected] method="post"
enctype="text/plain">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="90%">
<TR>
<TD width="30%"><DIV align="right">
<B>Name:</B>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD width="70%">
<INPUT type="text" name="name" size="20">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><DIV align="right"><B>Email:</B></DIV>
</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT type="text" name="email" size="20">
</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD><DIV align="right">
<B>Comment:</B>
</DIV>
</TD>
<TD><TEXTAREA name="comment" cols="30" wrap="virtual" rows="4">
</TEXTAREA>
</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>&nbsp;</TD>
<TD>
<INPUT type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
<INPUT type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset">
</TD></TR>
</TABLE>
</FORM>



You can test this with you web page preview.
