Real stupid question regarding FrontPage Forms

[BulletToothTony]

I would first like to thank you for viewing my post, and now my situation.

I was given the task to upgrade the forms on my company website. I am creating them with ASP.Net, but for the time being I was going to create them using FrontPage. Well I cannot even get the FrontPage form running.

I have first tried the "Send To" method having the results pasted into the _Private folder. But this does not work.

I then tried to send them to a database that I had the FrontPage wizard construct. Frontpage suggested that I change my file extention to .asp, but when I publish the page, the code is displayed?

I do have frontpage extentions on the server, and for the life of me cannot figure out why my simple feedback form won't post.

Please respond with any helpful ideas,
Thank you.

My two cents: this happened to me before we installed ASP support on our server. Check to see of ASP server files are also installed and updated.

Cheers!
Me :)

I am not looking to generate an ASP.Net page from FrontPage, that is what I am working on as the final for our website. The problem is with the .asp pages that FrontPage 2002 puts out. I have tried everyway possible to get my form posted and I cannot get them to do so. Are you aware of any bugs that may be associated these problems?

I think I'm having the same problem as BulletToothTony ...

"I have a form that submits results to my email box called TechSupport.htm (created in FrontPage 2002). It works fine. When I add a dropdown box with data from a legitimate Access .mdb (with a verified database connection), FP urges me to change the extension to .asp which I do: TechSupport.asp. Then the dropdown works fine, but the form stops working. I think the problem is because I change the name to .asp. Specifically, when I click Submit, it pauses as if it's processing, but then it returns to TechSupport.asp instead of redirecting to the form confirmation page.

I'm using Win2000 with IIS and FrontPage server extensions. I've tried it on my local machine (with a local inetpub) as well as on our corporate web server (IIS and FP extensions), but it fails in both places. Also, I have several other .asp pages that work just fine.

Any ideas?

OK, heres my deal. I have not figured out why ASP was not running properly on my webserver, the programming is fine. However, I ended up spending a really long weekend switching over to ASP.net....and that works. I have heard from various people that it may be a problem with the server extentions, and Microsoft does have an update for FrontPage 2002 server extentions, but I have never bothered, since I got ASPX to work fine.

Here is another little troubleshoot that might help, although you might have already tried it.

Open your brower and go to "http://my_server_name/localstart.asp"
If it is not working, there may be something wrong with your set up. Although you mentioned that you have other pages working.

You can also test extentions through IIS. Hope this was useful, but again I haven't had the time to solve my problem.
