the reason why the suggestions people made didn't work could be because setting the action of a form to be an e-mail address relies on an e-mail client (outlook, eudora, thunderbird...) being installed on the user's system. not everyone has one, and if they do, not everyone has it properly configured. in order to remove that dependancy, you have to use CGI. usually in the form of a program called sendmail on unix/linux web servers.

you can find plenty of free scripts to do it, if you have a cgi-bin directory and sendmail enabled in your web hosting space. it doesn't necessarily need unix/linux. it's pretty easy to setup and work with.
You dont HAVE to use CGI

Jess, if you need coding help let me know. I didnt see this till this morning, so I came in a little late.

I have millions of lines of code that you can use for samples, and if you need help understanding them, feel free to ask.
