bbeckk -> form results to both database and email using Frontpage 2003 (3/24/2008 18:08:23)

I am using FrontPage 2003. I am trying to send form results to a database and email. At this point I can only send form results to a database. I cannot send form results to an email address. I get this message: Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page. My goal is to have form results to both email and database.

I tried both the frontpagehowto.com and the cdonts. I can't get either to work. My web host is not being very helpful either. Do you think I should reload the frontpage extentions on my site

Oh, maybe I misunderstood. You're not trying to do both at the same time but rather you just can't do the email part?

Has your FrontPage extensions been set up with the email configuration stuff? The host and user and such?

I want to do both, send results to email and database at the same time. What I was saying is that if I try to send the results to email alone it doesn't work. Is that telling me that I won't be able to send to two both at the same time.

I am not sure about the email configuration. I have emails set up through my host. I also have gone into FrontPage extensions and put my email in where it says "Tune FrontPage Extension. There are two boxes one says sender email, the other say reply email.

I think I just went through the very same problem. We wanted to write a web accessed form to an access database in order to do some things with it, and also wanted the mail feature running so the admin would be prompted to look at what was just posted to the DB and do something else with it. It should be, but is not, a standard FP form feature. it's sort of one or the other. We tried a lot of creative workarounds including a mix of html and asp, and posting form data to a text file (which you are allowed to do while you send mail) and immediately thereafter re-reading it into the access database, (kind of messy, and didn't buy us a whole lot). Eventually we used a simple and straightforward CDOSYS mail routine which works great.

Does this sort of sound like what you want to do. If so perhaps I can add something to this.

Frontpage 2003 DRW - Send form results to database and email and Send form results to your database & email... might help some as well
