>2. Anybody have a recommendation for a FREE subscriber e-mail sign-up form for a website? For example, where you go to a website and find a place to sign-up for a FREE newsletter or eZine. Then periodically the website sends out their eZine newsletters and information to subscribers who leave their e-mail address and password. Only I want to be the e-mail address collector and sender of the information to subscribers.
A simple form that writes a user name and email address to an Access db or a VFP db (if your isp allows it) would not be anything to write - then you could download the db locally, and write a routine in fox that would send an email as you like. You need to be VERY careful with this, though - it would not take long to get blackballed for spamming.
