I have an ASP page that returns values from a Database (using frontpage 

2000).  I want the results to be posted to a feedback form with the 

ability to e-mail.  



I have found that to retrieve the data it has to be a asp, but to e-mail 

the form must be a HTM.



I am really new to asp and would appreciate any help given.

Tracey,

         what you have is basically correct, although what you need to

realise is that what you return from an Active Server Page (ASP) is

normally HTML, which will allow you to use the mailto: command within what



you return from the ASP.

However, for complex email's - for example where you have a set subject,

multiple people, attachments etc, we would strongly advise that you submit



it back to the sever and handle this server side.

Greg,



Thanks for the Reply.  I'm very new to the asp, so please excuses my

ignorance:



My site is using Frames.   I call the first results from the database, 

then

hyperlink to the second form by using the



	Library_Sites.asp?Site_ID=3D<% If Not IsEmpty (fp_rs) and not (fp_rs

is nothing) then response.write CSTR(fp_rs	("Site_Id")) %>



	In the Hyperlink field:



The sites form returns any matching values and has a criteria of 

site_id =3D

Library_Categories.site_id.



When i put a submit button on the Library_Sites form, the code is as

follows:



--------------------------------=09



  <table BORDER=3D"0">

    <tr>

      <td><b>Site_ID</b></td>

      <td><input TYPE=3D"TEXT" NAME=3D"Site_ID" 

VALUE=3D"<%=3DRequest("Site_ID")%>"

size=3D"20"></td>

    </tr>

  </table>

  <br>

  <a href=3D"Request_Items.htm?Site_ID">

  <input TYPE=3D"Submit"></a><input TYPE=3D"Reset">



-----------------------------



The form i want to return is the Request_Items with the Site_ID on the 

form

(Note:  This is a HTM form and i have a field called site_Id).  I have 

yet

to create any values in the Site_ID field on the request_Items form.



Can you tell me where i am going wrong.  It seems that the HTM form 

does not

return the Site_Id variable!



Please help



Regards
