hi Shaun

I thought you had registered with TT?

Anyway, you can easily modify the following if you're server supports PHP3.

faq250-756 Item number 3

Instead of setting the 'addressee' variable as a frame action, you would just create an input text-field with variable name 'addressee', this would be where your user would input their e-mail address. Then, in frame 1 of the movie, delete the action which sets the variable 'addressee' and insert the following:

mess = "Your autoresponder message goes in here.";
mail = "youremailaddress@yourserver.com";
subj = "the subject you want to put in the autoresponder, i.e. Thank you for registering with my site";

And delete the existing topic/contact/comment input text-fields from the main stage. Simple as that.
