Question about a form created in Frontpage

I use a form created in Frontpage for people to use over an intranet, which then emails me changes they make using the form. The problem is that the form has many options and i would like to only receive an email with the changes requested, not everything that the form asks for.

For example, if they want to change only one thing about a client (i.e. address) then I will also get a list of everything that wasn't change and it is a pain to go through and find the lines with the actual change.

Does this make sense. Can anyone help?

two options:

1) go through each thing and see if it changed and email you only the difference (it may sound like a pain, but at least it's the computer that's doing the comparison)
2) use some client-side javascript to catch the onchange (or similar event) on each field and update some hidden field to indicate which field it was that changed

Consider using a PHP script and HTML or Flash front-end (form). It adds a bit more flexibility that might come in handy.

How often are you sent the form?

On average I probably get ~30-50 form submissions per week. There are times when I get over 100 in one day and it's had to read through all of the non-data.
