Need a basic form that doesn't use FP98 extensions
The current web-host for one of my sites doesn't use Front Page 98 extensions, and I need a simple form that records:
Name
Email address
Comments
The has a submit button that sends the response in a line-by-line, or "bulleted list" format to my e-mail address (ie myaddress@somewhere.com).

Does your Provider offer Perl and access to cgi-bin?
I think you really should be looking at ASP. This allows you to store information on a database on the server as well as having many other excellent features.
You can get free hosting with ASP support at http://ewebcity.com and you can learn about ASP at http://learnasp.com
It requires some study and practice but ASP really is an excellent technology offering a variety of excellent and powerful features.
Hope this helps

I'm sory, in my previous comment you dont need sendmail cabable server. this method sends you an email message using user's mail software.
For using server sendmail cabability, you shoul do like this:
- Create your form
- In the "Form Properties" window, select "Send to" and write your e-mail address to "Email Address" field.(clear any 'File Name' fields if exist)
- Press to the "Options" button"
- clear any 'File Name' fields if exist on 'File Results' tab
- Select 'Email Results' tab
- write your e-mail address to apropriate field
- Select "Formatted Text" for e-mail format field
That's all, save your page.
