Frontpage 2000 email forms problem - "From" field wrong
Hello...
I am having a problem with some forms that my predecessor built using Frontpage 2000. When submitted, the form gets emailed to the correct recipient, but email appears as if it had been sent by the main email address on the web host. I have set it so that the "reply to" address applies to the form field "email", but the incorrect name still appears. Any insights? The webbot part of the code is below...the names have been changed to protect the innocent. I was just wondering if there was something I could add to this code to designate the "from" name on the email sent as the filled out "email" or "name" field from the submitted form.
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" onsubmit="return FrontPage_Form1_Validator(
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" startspan
U-File="../_private/form_r
S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALS
S-Email-Address="jpette@..
B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE
S-Email-ReplyTo="Email" B-Email-Subject-From-Field
S-Email-Subject="Webpage Inquiry"
S-Builtin-Fields="REMOTE_N
U-Confirmation-Url="../suc
bot="SaveResults" endspan -->

The ISP allowed me to change the default "from" email address, but unfortunately, I can't designate that as a form field. Oh well - it's a shortcoming of my ISP. Thank you all for the help.

Thanks John - and sorry about the ISP problems - at least you know you're not alone :-)
Best of Luck.
