I plublished a "Contact" form page to my site that used to work on my old
server. I am now on Apache1.3.33 with FP extensions enabled. In my form
statement, I have action="--WEB-BOT--" with the info for it. I published it
from FP2002 to FP version 5. The error message is "Cannot run the FrontPage
Server Extensions on this page "http://buxtonequine.com/contact.htm". Any
idead what to look for. My server is hosted by Verio and they have given up
on what's wrong. Thanks..

Has your host set up the email transport in the extensions?
You may have to send the email to an address in domain
buxtonequine.com - some hosts impose this restriction to combat spam.

Try the following, (one change at a time) just to see if it provides
positive results:

Move the hidden field name="redirect" out of the save results webbot.
It should not be there, and may be causing the checksum to be
incorrect.  In fact, this field will not work with the extensions
anyway - set up a confirmation page in form properties.

If that makes no difference:

Save the data to file (in the_private folder) instead of sending by
email.  If this works then it is likely that the email transport is
not correctly configured.

Change the email format to Text/Preformatted (this is probably not
what you will want to receive in practice)
