static page

I bet this is a simple question but I'm new to this theme AND word press in general. Anyways is there a way to basically wrap a static page with the theme around it? Like a template page??

I used the "page" functionality of WP to create a new page even downloaded a plugin to execute my PHP code and the form populates OKAY but when i submit my form, it gives me Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. I messed all around with the path information but I'm guessing this is because of a path issue and the fact this page doesn't technically exist until run-time. The static version in a folder of it's own works great but it's just a blank form with no header, footer, left bar, right bar, etc...

Can anyone please help with this?

thanks,
Jonathan
