Forms and server extensions

I used the form wizard for an online survey form. I
published it, but when the user click the Submit Form
button, the following page / message appears:
"Front Page Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form to a page that requires a web
server and the Front Page Server Extensins to function
properly." The server extensions are installed and the
hit counter I recently added works just fine. What's the
problem? What am I missing? I want the results to just
be html. Thanks for any help. I am using FP 2000 on a
Windows 2000 server.
 
are you sending this to a database or an email?
you may need to reinstall the frontpage extensions.
 
I finally figured out that I needed to save the form as
an asp. I did that, so I don't get the error message any
longer. The problem now is that the form seems to be
working, but when I test the form and then check the
results file, it's empty. I set up the results (form
handler or whatever) in the form properties dialog box.
I want the results to be in text file on the server
rather than e-mail or database. We do have our own
webserver and I've been publishing from Front Page
itself. I'm starting to get a bit desperate here. Any
help is much appreciated. Thanks!
 
When the form being processed via ASP, then you are no longer user the FP
form handler, so option such as written to a file are not available. You
would have to learn ASP and hand code this.
