Send Form to Database and email?

Is it possible to post form results to a database and send it to an email address? If so how do I do it?

I have read that one and several others that I am trying right now. I was just hoping it was as easy as clicking an option on the form properties dialog box.
Unfortunately it is not possible with FrontPage. Your problem is with the server extensions which will not allow you to send to email and an ASP page. Without the ASP page you cannot write to the database. You can use something like CDONTS to send your mail and then have the ASP to write to the database.

I also have DreamWeaver MX 2004 and have been playing with ASP.net and PHP. Which one is the easiest to learn and run with DW? I am not much of a programmer, just a web designer. The easier the better! Thank you!
Not real familiar with PHP but it is suppose to be easier with DW than .net.

You can use just straight VBScript in ASP to create the solution you need. I have some stuff at work I can post tomorrow that will write to a database and send the email.

Thanks a million. I am also going to take the SQL classes on VTC so I don't have to look like a dummy by asking questions!

Do not be afraid to ask questions. You will never look like a dummy trying to learn more about designing the Internet.

Thanks for the points.
