I first off want to apologize to anyone if this seems way too simple

I have been struggling with my hosting company for sometime regarding the form on my site. It's a basic mailto form with a generic cgi script that my old hosting company gave me.

Of course it's not working on the new server which also happens to be an NT. I have tried free scripts all over the place to try to make this work - but they only work on UNIX. The scripts that my hosting company provides only work with UNIX also, so I am up a creek without a paddle on this one.

If you could please take a look for me and let me know what I need to do to make this thing work, I would really appreciate it.

(FYI, I use the help of frontpage to design my sites, so you will see some of the frontpage coding in there - but the form is not run using frontpage)

The form is at: http://www.cataluna.com/contact.htm

Thanks in advance!

Brooke,
I can't answer this as I am not the forum expert with CGI, Jeffrey is, and I am sure that he (or someone else more able than me) will answer your question ASAP.
I am just curious as to why your hosting company do not offer a NT mailto script?
Weird.

Someone has already been in touch with me and I think he will be able to help me out! This forum is great!

I don't know why my host doesn't have scripts for NT...it says right on their site that their forms are for unix only. It's really goofy!
