Enquiry Form Problem

[kenmegsmith]

I have created a web site and one of the pages is an enquiry form. When a
person submits their enquiry details they are sent to my web host email
account but for some reason their enquiry is also printed at the bottom of
the web site enquiry page for the entire world to see. I'm using Front Page
2000.
Also a Component error comes up, “Saving Form Results to E-Mail will not
work unless either the “SMTPHost†or “SendmailCommand†server configuration
parameters are set.†I have only being involved in web site building for
about two weeks so I don't know what that means.
Any idead on what I have done wrong?

Sounds like you used the wrong template (guestbook vs a form) if the results are showing on the same page
In your FP web try File New Page and select the Forms Wizard template (or Feedback Template page)

You will need to publish the site using http method to an online hosted server running the FP Server Extensions with Email Transport
enabled by the host

Thanks for your help.
I have managed to solve the problem myself. It is nothing to do with Front
Page software. I did created another page using the Forms Wizard template but
the same problem still persisted. The problem was to do with setting the web
hosts control panel. You would think the web host would understand how to set
their own control panel.In web hosts control panel email forwarding alias
needs to be created then default routing set to either send to email address
or send to POP3 mailbox.
Now to learn about SSL and start taking credit cards.
