    Unless your adobe program has some clever solution to this, you'll have to get your hands relatively dirty.
    You've got to hook the form up to a server-side formmail script.
    Find out what server-side scripting your webhost supports... track down a good form mail script in that language... read the included instructions and find out what the setup requirements are (hidden fields, config options... they'll vary)... most of the ones I've seen are pretty clear on telling you exactly what you need to do to 'plug' your form into it.
    Your web host might have one already hanging around, so keep an eye out for that too.

    Basically when you hit submit, the form data is sent to whatever target is specified in the opening <form> tag.
    Generally your opening form tag will look something like this: <form action="scriptname.php" method="post">, with maybe some other properties... but these two are the important ones.

    I don't know if anyone apart from bots actually use these forms anyway :rolleyes:

    It's pretty straightforward using PHP. If you can post up your form online and send us a link, I'm sure we can give you the form mail code.
