Can I edit the confirmation page and/or error page that is automatically
generated by FrontPage? If not, how can I get the form field results into a
custom confirmation page? I would also like to remove the "return to form"
link on the error page and instruct the user to use the brower's back button
when returning to the form to correct invalid or missing data, so the data
already entered is retained, rather than taking them back to a blank screen
(which is what the link does.) Can the form field results be somehow
included in a custom confirmation page by using an inline frame? I tried
this, but couldn't get it to work.
 
Create a custom confirmation page and set your form properties to use it
- File new page and select the Confirmation page template

You can design your own error page (where the data in a required field is
missing etc).

Make a simple (or complex - your choice) page (that matches your site's
design) saying "error, Field X is required to be filled in....press the
browsers back button...."

You specify the error page in the form's properties (right click the form >
Properties etc.

The same idea can be with the "successful" confirmation page - you can
design your own, and include the fieldnames & the data submitted as well.
do this through insert > web component > [advanced] > confirmation field.
 
Thank you so much for the reply!
