I would say: Make a cgi program to glue all this together. It will probably require quite a bit of programming. To find specific cgi solutions have a look at http://www.selah.net/cgi.html. In particular the mailform.cgi gives a solution for sending form input in a mail. I have never used any readymade database cgi drivers - I tend to write my own. But you might want to have a look at http://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/packages/perl/db/. There you will find solutions for Oracle, Sybase, Postgres95, Xbase and many others. A very excellent book about this subject is "CGI Programming" by Shishir Gundavaram (O'Reilly & As., Inc). Soren
