Hi Peter, Welcome to the world of CF!
If you are already familiar with variables in CF, then you'll find it quite easy to achieve what you are after. When a form is submitted to a .cfm page, you can access the values entered using the Form. scope: For example, you have form.cfm and form_action.cfm. The form on the form.cfm page submits to form_action.cfm and contains the following input: <input type="text" name="mytext"> When the form is submitted, you can then access the values entered using Form.<inputname> - in this case, it would be Form.mytext Once you have the hang of variables, you can then use them to create emails using Coldfusions cfmail tag: <cfmail from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" to="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" subject="message for me"> The value of mytext is #Form.mytext# </cfmail> There's always more to it than that - but where is the fun of discovering it for yourself :) Good luck, Dave >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/09/03 09:58am >>> Hi All, First of all I'm a newbie to Coldfusion, and the more I look into the more excited I get about some of the great things I want to try and develop. I have a simple inquiry form and want a couple of things to happens once the form is submitted. 1. I'll receive an email of the submitted query to my support email address. 2. The person submitting the inquiry receives a autoresponse email that the inquiry is being attended to. I know this is one of the simplest processes around, I've seen some code for something very similar, however never seems to quite work. Are there any sites that anyone could reccomend, that explain what the code is being used for, and how it all fits together and take into consideration newbies like myself. I know there is a newbiecfm.com however its all in the early stages at this stage. Any assistance and advice would be appreciated.
