Sign up page in Frontpage 2003

[LouisG]

I have a reunion page that i'm trying to set up a sort of sign in page that
will collect the data from the person signing up eg: email address , home
address/phone number etc. and then show the persons name and graduation
year on another page so that others can see who's coming.

Does anyone have any suggestions how to do this or where to get a template
to put this on my page?

I do have one set up so far , but don't know how to re-direct the
information to a database and then show the signee's names on another page.
This is the page i've got so far if anyone would care to see what i'm
trying to do ,, http://www.waporteralumni.com/alumni members.htm ,,

Thank you for your help.

You might right click within the form. In the Form Properties dialog
box, you will see an option to redirect to a database.

I considered that, but thought it too big a chance for error.

You could just collect the information using an email address...that
option is located within the same form properties dialog box and
manually type it in a table on another page.

I understand that this is not what you originally wanted to do, but it
may save a lot of time.

May I suggest in your site that when you write text, that you NOT
capitalize every word? It is not very easy to read.
Example: "Here You Can Sign Up Along With Your Other Fellow Alumni And
Then Be Able To See..."

I take it that this reunion is for all school graduation years. About
how many people are you encompassing?

I've been able to get the form to email me finally , took some doing but
i've got it sending me what i need and then i manually add it to a mdb so
that i can forward it to the reunion committee.

I know what you mean about the capitalization , it looked better that way
to me from when i tried it without the capitalization , the non-capitals
looked really weird , i will put that option to the reunion committee to
see what they think.

We had a small get-together in 2004 and it drew around 800 people , with
this being the big 50 , we're expecting to see between 1000-1200 people.

The 2004 one was put together fast and wasn't held at the school or had a
pub nite beforehand , it was a one day event compared to three day this
time. We had people coming from Europe , Austrailia , Asia , and the U.S.
, this was held in Canada , so we're expecting many more than 04's
hastily put together bash.

Glad you have made some progress.

As far as the capitalization goes...

If you choose to do so, at least don't capitilize "prepositions" (with,
on, to, etc.) and the word "and".
