I am using fp 2000 and my host has the 2002 version of file extentions.
I have published my web with form in it to save to web page. I ahve also
tried setting it up to send and email. Both methods were unsucessful as I get
(the page cannot be diplayed messege). Here is the link to the form if that
helps http://www.wikkystix.com/6,7form.htm
It works OK and goes to the confirmation page in the frontpage progam.
Can u help please

1) You are saving to U-File="formrslt.htm" and needs to be saving to a folder w/ write permissions
- by default the _private folder

Move your page formrslt.htm to the _private folder and change Form Properties Options to save it in _private/formrslt.htm
(U-File="_private/formrslt.htm"

2) Remove the hyperlink around the submit button which you have as
<a href="confirmation.htm"><INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Submit Form"></a>
Illegal html and not how the FP forms handler works
In Form Properties Options set the confirmation page to confirmation.htm

Remove the comma from the page name. Characters used in folder/file
names are restricted to alphanumeric characters plus the hyphen and
underscore. Other characters (including spaces) may break links
either in browsers or server side processing, or both.

Also, the results file should be moved to the _private folder. The
_private folder has the correct permissions to allow writing to the
file, and preventing anonymous users viewing the results. Other
folders will not prevent other users viewing the results (and the URL
for the results file in the form page's HTML), and should not have
permissions for writing.

The confirmation page cannot display the form fields, since you have
the wrong names for them in the confirmation fields. For example: the
confirmation field Username should be Contact_FullName (or change
the field names in the form to suit the confirmation page).

Worse news - you do not appear to have a complete installation of
FrontPage extensions.
The files postinfo.html and _vti_inf.html are missing from the root
folder, so it is possible that the FP installation is corrupt or
incomplete.
Try reinstalling the extensions.
