   OK .. creating the database was a breeze (everything seems to be there and entered in the script), setting up the form variables was no problem.

   I want to embed the form within the site's index.php. No problem right? The notes say to change the two includes lines and I get PHP PATH errors. No worries .. I do a fullpath call (the note does mention to make sure the correct path is pasted) and voila .. the form comes up. It is picking up my .css and my hopes are high.

   Except when I hit SEND, "The requested URL /contact.php was not found on this server." Hmmm ... that's not right. However, when I run contact.php on it's own it works just fine. I have tried working through quite a few iterations .. maybe it's another file I am missing?

   I am guessing I am overthinking this. Can anyone help?

   Thank you.

   Thank you.

   Alex PM'd me with a quick fix. Not quite a simple fix but one that I won't make again.

   In short he told me - "You don't need the containing "simplecontact_pro" folder". Aaah .. I took the whole darn folder and dropped it down. Too simple .. ripped it out and popped in the everything except the Readme file. Redid the links and .. voila .. no problem.

   Thanks!

   No problem :) To clarify things, the containing "simplecontact_pro" folder is just to make things clear and tidy when you unzip the application download. You only need to upload the sc_admin folder and any of the sample files you want to work with.

   The links in the sample form pages are relative. By default, they assume that the sc_admin folder is in the same folder level of your website as the forms that link to scripts inside it. This is often the root of a website.

   You can put a form page anywhere in your site you want, as long as you ensure that the link paths are correct.
