hi randy

this part's easy

in the form, define your dropdown like this

  <select name=emailrecipient>
  <option value=Joe.Toronto(at)company.com>canada</option>
  <option value=Fred.Chicago(at)company.com>amerika</option>
  <option value=Raoul.Mexico(at)company.com>mexico</option>
  </select>

> and then have the form results mailed to that person?

this part ain't so easy

you'll need a CGI program to receive the form submission, take the form
field values, stuff them into a mail message, and send it to the designated
recipient

for an example, see FormMail
 http://www.worldwidemart.com/scripts/formmail.shtml ) which was written
for the unix operating system but has been ported to NT

i'm sure there are native NT solutions but i don't know of any (i'm not a
server type person, neither unix nor NT -- my ISP happens to offer FormMail
so i just use it)
