[cobalt-users] Re: FrontPage Forms

["Terry Ames" <Terry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your help Will.  I forwarded your information to the FrontPage
User and he replied with the following:

That was good advice your user group gave you, but that's advice the
"client" - (me) has to do.  And, being a Front Page user, I have already
done all that.  The site is a mirror image of what is on my hard drive and I
have filled out the appropriate fields listed in the Form Properties dialog
box.  It works PARTIALLY.  I get an e-mail and stuff goes into the file, but
NOT the text I type.  Just the words "Submit" and a long line.

Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks
Terry

like it's supposed to - but ONLY the Re:  line appears - not the body of the
message as typed in the text box.  Also the text in the text box on the form
page is supposed to go into the private folder, "form_results.txt" file on
your server but is not happening."
