Please view the application page on my Dreamweaver website
http://www.tli-english.com/app.htm. You can simply press the Submit
button at the bottom and I will receive an email containing whatever
info you have completed on this form.
My question is, I wish that after the perspective client Submits this
application page, I want him to receive the Thank you htm page at
http://www.tli-english.com/response.htm. I was informed that this
cannot be done through Dreamweaver alone and that I should download
the FormMail at http://scriptarchive.com/formmail.html and enter this
into the CGI folder on my server. I did this. I need to know the
action (code) to connect my applicaion page to the Form mail so that I
both receive the results by email from the client when he Submits
(which I now get) and that the client will receive this response page
(when he now does not receive).

I may be mistaken, but if peggy123 just wants to get the results
emailed to them and redirect the client to a webpage, that can be done
with Formmail.

From the Formmail readme:
http://www.scriptarchive.com/download.cgi?s=formmail&c=txt&f=README

Field:       redirect

Description: If you wish to redirect the user to a different URL, rather than
             having them see the default response to the fill-out form, you
             can use this hidden variable to send them to a pre-made HTML
             page.
Syntax:
             To choose the URL they will end up at:
               <input type=hidden name="redirect" 
               value="http://your.host.com/to/file.html">

             To allow them to specify a URL they wish to travel to once the
             form is filled out:
               <input type=text name="redirect">

That seems to cover it.  Of course, bformmail has a lot more advanced
features, so it likely would be a better solution overall.

Thanks,
Aristoi
