If the form is only being used on one page,
then there is no advantage to making it an include page.
That said, make sure when you are editing the form that
you edit the "include" page version and not the form that you see
when you open the page that includes the form.

In brief: The problem is that when I use a form with an "include page" and
make a change to the form, thereafter the form appears twice on the
webpage.
Using Win98SE and FP2000 w/ all updates/patches. All comments below
concern the website after it has been published to a host and FP extensions
are installed. The server the site is on is Apache version 1.3.28 (Unix).
I have done about 30 minutes of testing and have confirmed the following --
which I could not find in a google search. Some things at google wrere
close, but not quite the same problem. I also checked the MS KB with no
luck.
I created a small site. I created a plain contact form on one page and
that form is accessed w/ and include statement on another page. At first,
all appeared fine. Then, when I made a small change to the form -- field
validation -- the form started showing up twice, and before the second
incidence it has "[FrontPage Save Results Component]" -- which normally
only shows up in a browser preview before the site is published.
During the many things I tried and then published, sometimes the bracketed
text showed up, sometimes not. Sometimes when I tries making an additional
change to the form and then published, the form showed up three times on
the page.
I tried deleting the form and deleting the page that includes it from the
website and then republishing those pages. No help.
I tried reinstalling FP extensions and republishing my site. No help.
I deleted the include statement, typed in some text, published, deleted the
text and reinserted the include, then published, and the form again showed
up twice.
And, BTW, if I use the URL directly to the page the form is on, the form
only shows once.
The only solution to date is to put the form directly in the page I want it
to show in rather than including it.
Anyone have any comments about this? Suggestions as to what is going
wrong? Thanks.
