If you want control over what you do with the results, do not use the FP/FPSE forms for this. Switch to pure HTML form and scripting for the reults--ASP for Windows based servers.
Your web page with the form (e.g pageForm.html) will pass the submitted info to an ASP page (e.g. pageResponse.asp) where you grab the submitted info, mamipulate if you want, store in a database if you want, send you an email if yo want, and display a conifrmnation to the submitetr.
Yow will need to work with HTML code in FP and to learn ASP scripting. Your web server must support ASP (Active Server Pages).
Search for ASP tutorials or get soem books. You don't need complicated ASP.NET. ASP (or ASP clasisc as it is now referred after .net)is fine.

Hi,
Only my second post in this group and again hoping that I am in the right place.
I am trying to set up a user feedback form on my website. I have it set up and it appears to be working. I have a couple of questions and a concern.
First question. When I use the page to send feedback an e-mail message comes in from null@xxxxxxxx mvps.org is the hose of my site. I was wondering why the from is not from the person that sent the feedback? Is there something I need to do to change and make feedback appear from the person that sent it?
Then next issue is concern for personal information. If I look at my source code when viewed on the internet the following segment is displayed which contains my e-mail address:
form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Website User Feedback" onSubmit="location.href='_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;" webbot-onSubmit>
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="gmaxey@xxxxxxxx" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Email-Subject-From-Field="FALSE" S-Email-Subject="Website Feedback" S-Builtin-Fields="REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER Date Time" startspan S-Date-Format="%A, %B %d, %Y" S-Time-Format="%H:%M" S-Form-Fields="MessageType Subject SubjectOther Comments Username UserEmail ContactRequested " --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->
<p align="left"><strong>What is the nature of your comments?</strong>
A friend of mine suggested changing gmaxey@xxxxxxxx to gmaxey%40mvps%2e.org thinking it would help avoid spam. When I made those changes I would no longer get feedback.
Another site I visit has a feedback form and its source code displays:
<form method="POST" action="response.asp"> In place of the mess my shows above. Apparently there is someway of saving all of that mess above in a little script file that users can see. Can someone guide me in creating and using such files. Thanks.
