HYPERLINK

[caitlyn]

I want on the page with my form on it, for when people click submit, for them
to be taken to a thankyou page and informing them that their enquiry has been
sent. However I cant put a hyperlink on the submit button and I have the
thankyou page designed, but i want it to be invisible on the site, and the
only way to acess that page is to send an enquiry.

Is it possible for someone to help? Everyone has helped me so much so far!!

Thankyou,

Caitlyn,

Once you have your form finished, right-click on the Submit button and
then click on Form Properties. Next, click on Add. In the box that pops
up, under Name put "Redirect" (without the quotes) and under Value type
in the complete url to your success page, such as
http://www.yourwebsite.com/success.htm

From "Publisher web publication forms 101":
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80564.aspx

"After the form is submitted the page is redirected to a confirmation page.
You cannot change that function nor change the confirmation page. That is
not available in Publisher. FPSE processes the form submission and then
dynamically generates a confirmation page listing the form controls it
received. You can opt to not use FPSE for your form processing in which case
your program may provide for a level of customization not available with
Publisher and FPSE. If your host provides and supports a form program and
you have the technical know how to program it (or your host assists you). In
the form properties dialog for your form simply select the option to use "an
ISP Program" and then input the server path and name of the form program."

If Mike's suggestion about adding "redirect" works, then please let us know.
As indicated above, it doesn't seem possible to do what you are asking, but
it would be great to learn otherwise.

David,

Try www.valleycat.net/test5.html

It was done in Pub. I don't have FPSE available to me so I don't know
how they work, but one can set up a redirect in Pub.

Mike,

Thanks. I use FTP uploading and don't have FPSE enabled, so I can't test it
either. Hopefully, caitlyn will try it and let us know if it works. It would
be great if it does, as the information quoted is what I have relied on when
this subject has come up in the past.
