First I'd like to say that I always recommend that you install FP Extensions if maintaining an FP Web. There are many things going on when those Extensions are installed and functioning correctly (which they usually do). It takes a whole 15-20 seconds to install the FP Extensions on a per site basis. Another 15-20 to uninstall.

I stopped using FP forms many years ago after I hired my first asp programmer. He taught me the ropes and showed me how to use the same forms I had set up and just replace a few things here and there, make them asp pages and install ASPEmail to handle the email routines. Works like a charm. There have been some problems with "header injection attacks" but those have been minimized with additional "checks and balances".

Now that I'm diving into ASP.NET, there's a whole 'nuther way to do forms. ;)

P.S. You should also set up a simple database for your forms and start capturing all that information. You'll find it will come in use as you grow your database. ;)
