If you're new to creating /working with forms, scripts, etc., It might be
easiest for you to use FrontPage to create and manage your forms. FrontPage
includes a "Form Page Wizard" that walks you through the form creation
process - it also makes it fairly easy to incorporate field validation, and
gives you the option of having the results mailed to you, saved to a text
file, saved to a web page, or all of the above.

Once you have created  your form, if you decide you want to try using some
more complex external scripting you can easily bypass the FrontPage form
processing components and point the form to your own scripts.

If you would rather not work with FrontPage, you might want to look for CGI
Star Pro. This is an WinDoze application that helps to automate the process
of generating forms / scripts.

Or you could check out http://www.hotscripts.com which is a decent resource
for pre-made forms/scripts

On the other hand... if you're trying to gain the respct of most of the
geeks on this list... you might want to fire up your C64 and code everything
by hand <g>
