Is there a way to have a person (we'll call him "John") fill out a
"Contact" form online (ie, name, address, city, comments) and after
John clicks Submit, have that data directly eMailed to my client
WITHOUT John having an eMail program like Outlook on his computer?

Are you using a server side script to handle your form? I would have
thought that might do it but I bow to others.

There are a bunch of E-mail PHP forms available either free or pretty cheap.
One is "form to mail" I think.

Build the form in DW and have it submit to a php script that you have on your
web server. The mail will go wherever you set it to go to,

Most website hosting accounts include one or two form-to-email scripts,
but there's often a lack of information about what's there or how to use
it.

I've only ever used one which was called "CGIEmail", but it was very easy
to set-up the HTML code by reading the User's Guide at
http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/user.html

But depending on how you are hosting the website, you may need to do more
set-up on the server.
