Sami,

Here is a step-by-step that will help out a lot;

It is a php mailto method that does not require the user to have their
Outlook configured- or to have Outlook at all. Post back if you have any questions.

Re: Form problems

That looks sooo complicated that I think I only put my e-mail address so visitors can use that... (that form would still be much more useful.)

Hi Liuhuparta.
have faith in yourself, but if really can not do it you could send me a template page that you have designed and the email address you want to use, and i will do it for you.

Sami,

Give it a try. We'll help ya- it really is easy. All you have to do is create one web-page with the form on it and the other with a simply thank-you message- publish and that's it.

Should you choose...... we will be here.

Cheers,

Andy

Re: Form problems

The page said something about BV email and stuff, but I have only luukku.com address (I'm Finnish) and I can't afford paying to VH for publishing my site so I publish them somewhere else for free.

And thanks for trying to help dummy.

Re: Form problems

No problems. Come on back to VH when you want a web-bulider that is second to none. We always welcome new commers. I hope you find a solution that helps.

Cheers,

Re: Form problems

I of course use BV because it's the best but I publish them somewhere else. And that form doesn't work without registering?

Re: Form problems

Correction-

Yes the form will work- you just have to adjust it a little. Like place the php script on note pad and save it as php. The principle of form reporting is no different. You will simply have to adapt it.

Cheers

Re: Form problems

Stick with the tutorials mate, you wont regret it, i had problems with forms too but stuck with it and now i bang them out left right and centre. It all looks and sounds complicated but it actually isnt, once you have done 1 and it works.
