I have a question about frontpage, i made a form with it that when click submit , it sends it to the email that i specified but, where it says its coming from is a weird email address, is there anyway to change where it says its coming from??

Thanks

Include a hidden field in your form with with a from address should fix your problem.

Try adding this to your HTML Form:
<input type="Hidden" name="FROM" value="you@youraddress.com">

Try that, check your Front Page documentation, you may need to play around with the name field to get it to work.

I don't think this will work. The FrontPage server extensions vary from server to server (in the Unix world, anyway), and the "from" address is determined by the particular version of the server extensions. There's no way I'm aware of to set the "from" address on a FrontPage form.

But theres a way to do it thats independant of server platform, its actually the script thats looks at the "from" field or whatever field its looking for to stick an email address in, thats why I never use Front Page, Bleh
