Friends
I am new this forum. AM trying to get a website designed completely in Frontpage to Dreamweaver and running into problems. This page is a contact form and uses Javascript and it is looking for some file named _vti_bin/shtml.exe/contact.htm The form action points to this file. I understand that this is some Frontpage server extension, how do I get this worked in Dreamweaver. Anyone done this before pls give me some pointers..
TIA

There's no way to make it work in Dreamweaver, except to replace the action on the form pointing to a server-side script that you write or can modified to work in your case.
