Hi Steve,

>1. Anybody know of any VFP e-mail address farming software that lets you farm e-mail addresses when you supply some keywords, like in a search engine, so you can grab e-mail addresses for specific industries or interests?

Don't do it. It will bite you the moment you send out the first blast and with new legislation regarding spam in many states, you could be opening yourself up to litigation.

>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.

What does your ISP website host support? ASP pages and Access data? ASP.NET?

Also, another idea is to use an autoresponder to handle the sending. You can set up on most of them a series of emails to send in response to someone requesting a subscription to your newsletter or requesting more info, etc. A few to look at (I'm not recommending any of them, just found them in a quick search on a marketing site):

www.globalgroupsend.com
www.aweber.com

You can probably find lots more to choose from by searching Google for "free autoresponder"
