Although there a lot of posts about Forms issues, I didn't see this one addressed...
I created and uploaded a form created by the FrontPage 2003 Form wizard. It's in their Contacts format, and I use it to receive email addresses for mailing lists. I want the form to send the results to a file (which it does just fine) but when I configure it to send the results via email as well, I get the message "This form cannot be configured to send results via email. The web site may be at a disk based location or on a server that has not been configured to send email. Contact your Sys Admin or ISP for more info."

I would like more info. I'm not sure how to proceed.

You may get that message when viewing or creating the form on your computer, however when you publish to your web site it may actually work. Give it a try. Be sure to publish with http publishing. Publish to http://yourdomain.com.

This topic was dicussed briefly at:
http://www.lunarforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14223&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

I ran into the same error message, but for me, when I published my site using FP, the form worked fine, e-mailing me the results as I had requested.

Wish I could offer more help.

Good luck...

UPDATE:
It wasn't working, but now it is. Go figure. The error message appeared when configured it, but now the results are getting emailed to me. So, hooray!!!
