Hi there.

This is my first post in the forum.
I have recently started taking web design etc more seriously as more people have asked for sites to made, whereas before, i just did it as a hobby.

Over the past 6 months or so, i've learned more about html and css and this has enabled me to make sites for people.

I have come to a problem now where a customer wants a form on the website which e-mails the results of the form to their e-mail address, but also stores it in a table in a MS Access database.

Now, I have used a cgi script called formmail which just e-mails the results, this isn't bad, but I think I need to use some ASP for this particular request.

I am a complete beginner in this area so I was just wondering if anyone can give me help or point me in the right direction to achieve this?

Many thanks in advance,

Craig

cheers for the link mate.

I have seen the Form to DB one, i presume thats the one you intend me to look at.

Is there an easy way to send an e-mail when something is submitted as well as add it to the database?
