I'm new to forms design using X5 Evo 12. I'm trying to implement a membership form to be submitted via email. The form design is easy enough, but I want to be able to have a csv file attached to the outgoing email. What's the relationship of imemailform.php or any of the php files in the imemail folder created during export?
I'm running Windows 10 Professional for my OS. My hosting service is Netfirms.com

Michael,
If you want members to ask for login you need to get users to send you to the information, so you need to receive a mail or csv file.
On acces management you can set a registration page. (you need to create a this page first as an email page, you could choose to hide that page using the button hide on top, then it won't show up in your menu) In this page ask for the information you need like login and password, mail adress.
Then it will be sent to you by mail, this informatio you can then add to the acces management section.

I think my question was not worded correctly. All I'm looking for is how to capture the data entered into my Membership Form in a cvs file that is attached and sent to the recipient. I've attached a zip file of the HTML code for my membership page. I'm not sure of the relationship between the form and the imemail php page that gets generated. Any explanation or a pointer where to learn would be greatly appreciated.
I'm in the process of converting our old website code that was generated purely in HTML over to X5 for ease of maintenance. The ability to be able to receive this membership information is critical to our non-profit organization.
When you go into E-mail form object, you can tick a box to include the colledted data i CSV format. Is that what you are lookign for?

I tried that with a sample email and wasn't sure that was what I was looking for. I'll give it a try. Thanks for the input. If I want the message and file to be sent to multiple recipients, how do I separate their respective email addresses?
Hello Michael,
With a semi-colon, as per the instructions in the help file:
▪User e-mail address: this indicates the address that will receive the data submitted through the forms. You can type in more than one address: separate them with a semi-colon (;)
