I've been attempting to learn this Mail Merge to create a feedback form on my pages and the instructions just don't penetrate my thick head. Would someone please tell me what to put in the Input File "Form Action" line for the 2 following Pages. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tipwood/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tiptonsingeorgia/ThomasTipton/ Any/All help appreciated.

You'll be better off with a - or _ in the file name instead. Loading the page, I see that you have this: <FORM ACTION="cgi-bin/mailmerge.cgi/http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tipwood/public_ html/template.file" METHOD="post"> It should read: <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailmerge.cgi/~tipwood/template.file" METHOD="post"> Note the leading slash. Also, the ~tipwood construction implies the public_html directory, so it isn't needed. Next, you need to create the "template.file" and put your MailMerge directives in it. > >http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tiptonsingeorgia/ThomasTipton/ I didn't find a MailMerge form page here, so all I can do is give you a generic answer: <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/mailmerge.cgi/~tiptonsingeorgia/template.file" METHOD="post"> Regards, Elsi
