Thanks for your help tony.
but when I put that script in and checked to see if any data has been added to my file, it hasn't. hmmm. did i miss something?

also i usually get a browser dialog box when i try to submit something saying it is not secure, auto-entering, etc. is something wrong if no dialog box happens?

also, how does it know to "POST" the email data without a variable reference in the script?
