How do I set-up my contact page to make the consumer have to fill out either
their phone # or email address. I'm trying to mail it a required field so
that they can fill in one or the other. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Use form validation. If your site has FPSE, you can use FP for basic
form validation. In FP normal view, right click the form field, selectd
field properties and proceed to form validation.

If FPSE is not an option or if you want more customized validation, you
can use use form validation using javascript. Google "javascript form
validation" for samples and exples (without quotes). This validation is
done at the browser, it will not work if the user disabled scripting.

Another option is to validate with server side scripting.

You can use FP Form Field Validation which is based on JavaScript whether or not the live/remote
server has the FP extensions.

Thanks for the clarification, Thomas. Is that for FP 2003. I am still
using FP 2k.
