do you actually have a form field that is named "form"?  such as <.input
type="text" name="form" size="32">?

If not, then it's looking for a specific form field named "form".

if you have a form similar to this:
<.input type="text" name="firstname">
<.input type="text" name="lastname">
<.input type="text" name="emailaddy">
<textarea name="messagebody" cols="24" wrap="PHYSICAL" rows="5"></textarea>

Then  Mailer.BodyText   = Request.Form("Form") should instead be something
like:

(this is written as if all on one line)
Mailer.BodyText   = "Name: " & request.form("firstname") & "&nbsp;" &
request.form("lastname")" & chr(13) & "Email: " & request.form("emailaddy")
& chr(13) & chr(13) & "Message text: " & request.form("messagebody")

this would output something like the following in the body of the email sent
to you:
--------------------------------------------------
Name: John Doe
Email: jdoe(at)yahoo.com

Message text:  Hello, I am writing for some more product information. Please
respond fast!
--------------------------------------------------

Now, if what you are trying to do is just lump every form field into the
email, then what you did is close, just drop the "("Form")" so that it
reads:
Mailer.BodyText   = Request.Form

This will send everything in the form to you in what I believe is a comma
delimited list.
