SUMMARY

In Microsoft FrontPage, you can save a file to two or more separate file locations or in two or more file formats. You can also send a file to multiple e-mail recipients or save different form fields in different locations. To accomplish any of these tasks, you need to use one or more custom confirmation pages that contain the same form field names as the original feedback form.

If you want to specify an optional second file to save the results to, click Options in the Form Properties dialog box.
