You http publish from your local machine to your remote server that has FP
server extensions installed. Not ftp.

forms on my site?

If you mean "check form results" open the remote web in FrontPage and
check the results files there.

what do you mean by "check forms...." ??

Frontpage has three ways it processes the form's data using the server
extensions
1) sends the data to a text file
2) sends the data to your email
3) sends the data to a database (eg MS Access).

Which method above are you using?....

if 1) then check the _private folder on your server, that's where the file
is that it writes to .
2) check your email!
3) you need to write ASP code to have the results written to the screen, or
you can download the mdb file from the fpbd folder, and open it in MS Acess.

The above methods for processing the data from the form require the server
extensions.

There is a fourth way (not using the frontpage form handler) which is to use
a third party asp, php, cgi script to process the data, to write it to a
file, to a database or send an email. Your server would need to support
whatever script you use.
