output to an e-mail address

[Karen]

I am creating a form with a submit button in order for visitors to submit
their e-mail address to my e-mail address. I've been using the wizard in FP
2003 but the output options do not seem to include one for an e-mail address,
can anyone help me with the necessary code to have a simple "please fill out
your e-mail address" then click the "submit" button to send it to my e-mail
address ???

In your form, create a text box field called "email address" for the user to
fill in.

If you've used the wizard, simply double click one of the fields and rename
it or add a field called "email" from Insert > Form > (etc).

The Wizard only creates the form, it doesn't stop you adding more fields.

Thank you Andrew, I have been unable to have the submit button send the
response to my e-mail address rather than a text or htm file.

Have you checked with your web host to see if this feature is supported?

Hi Karen
If you are using the FP form Wizard it is very easy. Once you have built
your form, right click the submit button> form properties > clear file name (
unless you want a copy in your site > enter your e-mail address > click
options near the bottom > click e-mail results tab at top enter e-mail again
then youve done it girl!! You do need FP extensions for this. hope this
helps

Actually no I haven't does this feature require fp extensions to be on the
server?

Yes, extensions are required on the host server.

The server requires the server extensions to allow FP forms to work.

In the form properties (right click the form, go to "Form Properties...")
under the "send to" options specify your email address. Your email must be
'associated' with the web address URL i.e. (e-mail address removed) where your
web is www.yoursite.com - it won't allow for example (e-mail address removed) on your
site www.yoursite.com

If you have the field called "email" that the user fills in when they submit
the form, and then when you retrieve your email, and want to reply, click
"Reply" in your mail program - in the To field it will have the email of
the user who sent you the message from the form, even though technically it
is the web server sending the email as it is virtually 'anonymous'.
