Hello, I am new but could not find my particular problem in the questions. I
have managed to create a form in my website and a confirmation page that is
in the same theme. When the site is published to the internet and the form
submitted the submitter see the generic Form Confirmation instead of the
custom one I created. Please can someone advise? (In the form properties
under the Confirmation Tab I browsed and entered the custom confirmation page
- the theme is a standard Frontpage theme nothing custom there).
Thank you
 
1) your form properties do not include the custom confirmation page
2) verify w/ you host they have email transport enabled and will allow you to send mail to an email address other than on their
server

3) More importantly you have Invalid form html - that will never work
Your <form> </form> tags are after all your form fields
(so it sends / does nothing w/ data entered in the fields above it)
- is needs to be wrapped around your form fields

<form>
all your form fields go in here

</form>

PS
The space bar is not a design tool
- use table cell alignment to "position" text

The custom confirmation form does not appear in the form properties.
Open the web and form page in FrontPage.
Right click anywhere in the form and choose Form properties.
Click Options, and on the Confirmation Page tag browse to the
confirmation page you wish to use, and click OK, click OK
Save the page, then close the page (sometimes, if you change form
properties and nothing else, the properties are not updated when you
close the page unless you save it first).
Publish and check the form again.

Thank you Ronx, I appreciate your response. That is exactly what I have done
about ten times but still we get nothing but the plain generic ocnfirmation
page. I know this should work but it does not. Maybe we'll just have to keep
living with it. Rebecca
 
I figured it out:) My form is long and somehow it must be broken into two
parts. I was right clicking and putting the confirmation page but only at
the top of the form. I tried at the bottom of the form (I don't know why it
is in two parts maybe I accidently put in a page break?) Anyway after adding
the confirmation URL from the bottom, It Works. Thanks to everyone. Rebecca
 
I guarantee you it does not work
(none of your form field are set w/ the form data)
- see my response above on why you are getting empty emails
