Could someone help me (walk me through) what is wrong or what is going wrong with my form.

Background Info:
I built a very large site using Serif Webplus 9.0 (drag & drop).
I originally used Frontpage for my form(s) but was told to drop Frontpage for numerous reasons.
So now, I am attempting to make a new form using Dreamweaver or NVU.

The major functions of the form is supposed to:
1.  Send the filled out details to an email address. (photosaroundtown@lifearoundtown.com)
2.  Send an uploaded picture file somewhere where I can access it for resizing & future posting.
3.  Simultaneously redirect to another page in my site upon pushing the submit button.  (http://www.lifearoundtown.com/thankyoupage.html)
4.  Have the banner that I created actually show up at the top of the form to match the site.

Other notes:
I have been told by the creator that the code is correct.  It is possible that I am not doing something else that needs to be done?  It might be something little that most people take for granted & do all the time.  
Any help you could shed on this would be greatly appreciated.  Please keep in mind that I don't know code at all & need to be slowly walked through the process.
Thanks in advance
