Almost everyday someone ask for help to make there form work and most web
host cam do that for you. If your looking for a web host ask them if they
have a Form Processor, if they do ask them to email the code to make it
work. I did and this is what they sent me. Change need info and paste it
into the fragment code and it will work in Preview to test it. You put the
form address in the Command Button Properties, Data retrieval information.
I use Bizland for one of my websites, cost under $10.00 a month and I have
been happy with there service.

FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="http://www.bizland.com/utils/FormProcessor.cmp">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="my_email" VALUE="joesmo@aol.com"><INPUT
TYPE="hidden" NAME="thankyou_url" VALUE="http://www.redirect.org"><INPUT
TYPE="hidden" NAME="subject" VALUE="WORK WANTED"

Actually using a code fragment would not be needed.
Publisher supports a third party processor, under the form properties select
the option to use an ISP program and then enter the url to that program (in
your case the url in the action attribute).
Then Publisher writes the code.

Publisher makes all this easier though by having it's own processing
mechanism via FrontPage extensions. Which is covered on my FAQ page, lad FP
extensions for forms processing.
