I'm using FP 2003 to create a form. Earlier today I was able to submit the
form, be taken to a confirmation page and view results in a folder on the web
server. This evening, however, when I logged back on, this no longer worked.
For one thing, when I click the submit button, I am taken to a Web Page that
says with the 404 error - page not found. I have a confirmation page set up
on the site and it is saved, but it won't work for some reason. When I look
at the files on the server, the file that was housing my data is now gone.
Also, I have tried to get the form data to redirect to my email address but
it won't work either. My web host says that there server is configured
correctly but for some reason it still will not work.
I know this is a lot and all maybe different, but I can't understand why I
am having so much trouble.
thanks!!!!
 
Welp, you've told us a lot, except where to see the problem.

you have your confirmation page set as customer.htm which is the same as the
form page either create a custom confirmation page or leave it blank in
form properties. that may be part of the problem.

In addition to Rob's comments
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="_derived/nortbots.htm"
indicates that the form page was FTPed to the server, or the extensions are
not running correctly.

nortbots.htm only appears in five cases:

1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage
disc-based web that is being browsed through a web-server.
2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running
3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or published
using a FTP address for the destination, or published to a file system
destination including a network share or UNC address (like
\\machinename\path\webname). Publish must be to a URL of the form
http://example.com, or the site was published to a disc based location
(example C:/sitename/)
4) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this problem.
5) The site was correctly published, but the extensions were not installed
correctly or were mis-configured. Re-installing the extensions may correct
the problem.


The 404 error is probably because _derived/nortbots.htm was not uploaded
with the form.
 
Thanks you guys so much...especially you Ronx. It appears that my whole
problem was the I was FTPing instead of to the URL. Everything now seems to
be working fine!
THANKS!
Robin
