In message <5.1.0.14.0.20010831161752.009f1ec0@pop3.norton.antivirus>, ASGS Webmaster <asgsaz@yahoo.com> writes Hi Sherri, Try changing: <FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/local/mailmerge.cgi/home0001/users1/asgs/ public_html/form/submit.txt" METHOD="POST" name="ASGS Surname Database Submittal Form" onSubmit=""> - to show the FULL address i.e. http://www.rootsweb.com....... I started playing with mailmerge for my guest-book at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~chalmers/ - and syntax I used - which worked was: <FORM ACTION="http://homepages.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/mailmerge.cgi/u1/cha lmers/public_html/query.tmp" METHOD=POST> - use the full page address! (Eventually I used the ISP of my other pages to do what I wanted as I was more familiar with how the system worked - but I was successful in getting replies from the page I tested using syntax above) John >Hello, >I am trying to set up a form where the results will be e-mailed as a comma >delimited file so that they can be imported into an offline database. >Needless to say, I am having lots of problems with it. > >I set up the form initially using FrontPage 2000, but discovered that >Rootsweb doesn't support the extensions for that feature.
