When you want to post to this forum and use the CODE tag, please also check the Disable HTML in this post box which will ensure that your code comes through properly. Can you please edit or repost your query, there is too much missing information on the original query...

Also it's very useful to include the actual URL where you can find this code so we can make sure that what you think is on the page is actually there...

As we explain in the How to Use FormMail to Send Yourself the Results of a Form Submission page which describes the usage of the form mail, you need to enter the Blog ID of your blog. You have this in your code:

<form method="post" action="http://tools.blogharbor.com/cgi-bin/FormMail.pl">

<input type="hidden" name="return_link_url" value="http://www.blogharbor.com" />
<input type="hidden" name="return_link_title" value="Back to BlogHarbor Home Page" />
<input type="hidden" name="bgcolor" value="#ffffe7" />
<table border>

This is what I get.

The following fields were left blank in your submission form:

Contact Name
Business Name
email (must be a valid email address)
bussiness address
phone
These fields must be filled in before you can successfully submit the form.

Please use your back button to return to the form and try again.

As we wrote to you when you sent us this question by email, please look at your custom INPUT fields... All of them are identical:

Thank You

Glad to hear you got it working! It seems hard, but once you get the basic principles down you should be able to crank out forms quite easily.
