Hi Mac,
I'm sorry I can't help you with the code to send your form to multiple recipients (I'm sure someone else can). I did have a pleasant experience with the microsoft "tech help" today. I believe you are entitled to two free "help" sessions with the registered version of Front page, if your interested the phone number is: (425)635-7088 (6am-6pm pacific time).
The person I talked to was extremely helpful (above and beyond what I asked for)
take care,

You should be able to. It might help if you posted the code you were using so we could see how your going about sending the mail.

An interesting point, I would be interested in knowing this myself. The solution could just be a colon ( in between email addresses, but I dobt it is that simple.

Alot depends on how you are getting the results mailed to you.

If you are using a cgi program to handle the form, there should be a way to edit the script to send to 2 email addresses.

If you are using the action="mailto:etc" in the form tag, you can add some things to the maito: command that will help:

"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hi"

This would add a subject. Here is how to send a carbon copy to a second person like you want to do:

"mailto:[email protected][email protected]"

If you want a blind carbon copy:

"mailto:[email protected][email protected]"

If you want more than one, separate the extra statements with "&" like this:

"mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hi&[email protected]&[email protected]"

But, it all depends on which method you are using to handle the form

After I have created a form in FrontPage, is it possible to send the e-mail results to two e-mail addresses at the same time?

Thanks for that, I knew about the subject, but not about the cc and bcc.
I'm sure there is a use for that somewhere.

Here is an example of the code I am using:

<body>

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults"
U-File="http://localhost:8080/templateweb/_private/form_results.txt" S-Format="TEXT/TSV"
S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/TSV"
S-Email-Address="[email protected]" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields --><p>this
is a questions<input type="text" name="T1" size="20"></p>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="B1"><input type="reset" value="Reset"
name="B2"></p>
</form>
</body>

This is not a mailto: approach. Any suggestions on how to work with such code?

I just took Carolyn Jones's advice and phoned FrontPage support. There is an article providing the answer to this question at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q187/2/49.asp.

Glad it is fixed Mac, but I have to ask why does front page complicate so much? Is there a reason?
Yours confused at Microsoft,

I'm glad they were able to help Mac. I wonder that too JP. I bought frontpage because I heard it was the best way to build a web site. So far it's just confused me, in fact I think I need to sign up for a night class. Guess I'm use to doing it the harder way
take care,

Carolyn,
I'm back!
Mac email me with the same air of confusion at MS complicating things to such an extent.

I actually phoned up a MS programmer I know to ask him, sadly he never really worked in that dep. and recommended I phone up the UK center Monday. I will try and remember, will be an interesting topic.
