With a standard form is it possible for one field to be sent to just one email address and the rest of the same form be sent to two ?

I doubt it. The only way I know of to accomplish this is to use a script language like PHP. But I'd love to have someone tell me I'm wrong so I can learn something new!

There is nothing standard about that. What you should do is play with a little CGI. There are some nice languages like Perl, PHP, and Phython that handle email very nicely. Server side wise what you are describing is very easy. But standard HTML will not do this very nicely.
But! You could do this with javascript, but you would have to be a javascript master.

Thanks - I was hoping for a html solution, but am always open to ideas. Java etc would not be a good idea as they are order pages and some people have java turned off.
In html is there no way to say I want these fields 1 - 30 excpet 10 to be sent to Y@Y.com and all fields to be sent to X@X.com ?

Of course you can just add a second email address seperated by a semi-colon and both recipients will get the same results; tell each of them not to look at some of the stuff :)

A bit like pandora's box you mean ?!

Well, older browsers don't support form to mail. And form to mail only works if the client has an email client on that computer. So if they have a hotmail address and they are at the library they would not be able to email you.
I would recommend server side scripting, that is what it is there for.
