My question is basically the same as the first one above, but there appears to have been no answer to it. I will simply paste the question here and hope that someone can get back to me promptly. Thank You! I am taking the "learn-as-I-go" approach to programming and web design. I copied this script into Front Page 98 and uploaded to my server. When I looked at the page, the variables were displaying in the field boxes (like this: <%=src_name%>) and this text appreared at the end of the form: Send Myself a Copy:"" or str_error="" then response.write("CHECKED")%> > Would someone be kind enough to tell me what needs to be changed/added to make this work? I copied the code directly from the example and added nothing.

Would someone be kind enough to tell me what needs to be changed/added to make this work?  I copied the code directly from the example and added nothing.

The article is short, easy to understand, and goes directly to the point. It is the kind of material I like to read. I tested the code, made some adaptions and it worked fine! Congratullations to the authors. I hope to have the opportunity to read more articles like this one.

Thanks.

Very useful and easy to set up.

You might want to send yourself the copy as i did encounter an error....the referred page adds another "/" in the path to the referred page.....so the recipient gets an error.

i fixed the problem so email me if you get stuck

cheers
