Forms

I'm using version 5.0. I have a form I'm going to post to our website so our customers can schedule a meeting with our inspectors. I'm trying to get the form to be sent to my e-mail address, but I'm not having any luck with the submit button action. I created a cgi bin on the server and tried to get that to work but I get a message telling me I need to be working in a web browser to submit the form. Can you help me either get the form to go directly to my email and skip the cgi bin or tell me how to test drive the file as it is programed now?
 
Thanks
Sue

Upgrading to 8 Pro and moving your end-users to Reader 7 or 8 will resolve your issue. Then you should be able to submit via e-mail even if you are not in a browser.
