FP Server Extensions on page???

[Chrisp]

http://www.contactivity.net/act!_client_training_survey.htm

This is my training survey form. When I hit the form submit button I am taken to a page that says: Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "http://contactivity.net/act!_client_training_survey.htm"

This happens instead of being sent to the confirmation page: http://www.contactivity.net/Thank_you_for_your_submittal.htm

What is broken here???

This kind of thing usually happens when you use FTP to upload pages to the website...

If you FTPeed the page with the form to the website...

You need to use the Publish feature from with-in FrontPage.
Forms recquire hidden folders and pages that FTP will not beable to produce that refference the form.

If you did use the Publish feature with-in FrontPage...

First thing would be to look for any anomolies...

I did notice that you are using a reserved character in the files name
act!_client_training_survey.htm

Rename the file dropping the exclamation mark...

If that don't do the trick...

Try to open your site live from the hosting server and recalculate the site...

Thanks Bud,

I renamed the prob page excluding the [!]. I am Publishing now.. on dial-up today so it's taking it's time.

If the prob persists, is it a complicated process to open my site live from the hosting server and recalculate the site?

To open your site live...

Method one...

Browse to your website using Internet Explorer...
Click the Edit button... Note that the edit botton sould have the FrontPage Icon... If not, set the default Editing program to FrontPage in Internet Options...

Method two...

Open FrontPage, from the File menu select Open Web...
In the Web name: field enter the complete URL of your web site...

(A complete URL includes the use of http://)


Once you have your site open... From the Tools menu
Select Recalculate Hyperlinks...

[Chrisp]

I opened live w/edit and selected Recalculate in the Tools Menu.. but did not get any windows come up with instructions / confirmation. Should I have.. or is it an invisable process??

RATS!!!! I recaculated Hyperlinks & republished.. but I still have "[FrontPage Save Results Component] " showing on my page.. BUT - it doesn't show in FP Preview??

Also when you select the Submit button, instead of getting the Confirmation Page at (http://www.contactivity.net/Thank_you_for_your_submittal.htm) you are taken to: http://www.contactivity.net/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/act_client_training_survey.htm which is a white page displaying the message:
"Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "http://contactivity.net/act_client_training_survey.htm""
:confused:
