If you want Typhoon to mail your messages, you have to use a [sendmail] context. Here's your 1-2-3 explanation:1- Collect all your values (name, adress, telephonenumber etc.)in the fields on the form page. 2- Send those values via method=post to the next page. 3- Use a [sendmail] context on the next page to send yourself an email message with the form values in it, like this:[sendmail to=youremailaddress&from=yuoremailaddress&subject=new form from my website] This person just registered on my website: [name] [address] [telephonenumber] [/sendmail]If the html docs for Typhoon do not explain this well enough, you can learn a lot by reading the html docs for the WebDNA language online at smithmicro.com.:)================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499, http://webdna.net ================================
