Are FP extensions necessary on the local machines when creating forms? CI am
trying to create a form and I get a message saying that "This form is being
created on Disk-Based web or FP server extentions have been configured to
send email....bla bla bla". I uning FP 2002 and altough my host server has FP
server exts installed, my form doesn't still. It's supposed to send the
results to an email account. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
The form should work, if your online server has FP extensions installed on it and they are working...and you Publish via the http:// method. The error you're getting just means that you are not running a server on your local machine..basically.

thanks Rob!

When you say " publish via http:/ method", you mean publish it within FP?
I've been using FTP cuz FP doesn't allow publication of pages, but web.
 
The form MUST be published to a server running FrontPage extensions
using the FrontPage menu File->Publish Web/Site and using a
destination address in the form http://example.com
Since you have used FTP you will probably have to repair the
FPextensions on your site, or ask your host to do so.
FrontPage runtime components (forms, hit-counters etc.) will not work
unless http published to an extended web site.
 
If the live/remote server has the FP extensions, then you should always use FP's File Menu | Publish
Site and not use FTP. FP Component like forms will not work if published or uploaded in any manner
that is not using File Menu | Publish Site command, that also include FP's Selective Publish
function.
