several issues here. I'm using FP2003

First...thanks to all of those that have helped me in the past from this
group.

the website is www.appleuniversity.net

I have a form, to take orders, at www.appleuniversity.net/order_form.asp

when data is put into the form, and the "Submit" button is clicked, the user
is taken to a page that I USED to have on the site, but that I deleted. I
have since republished several times since deleting that page and I have
confirmed it is not there.

In form field properties, I do have "email the form results to" and a valid
email address, but the data never arrives.

I do have the "Submit" button hyperlinked to the proper page that I want the
user to acknowledge before proceeding.

What am I missing?

I host the site locally on a server running IIS with FP extensions installed.
 
The order for page returns a page not found, however from your post:

You can't use the submit button for a form as a hyperlink.
Remove the hyperlink from the submit button, and then in form properties set
suggestion_confirmation.htm as your custom confirmation page.

Also, in the comments form on your home page, I can't see where you've designated an email
address to send the form data to, nor have you designated a file to save it to on the
server

Thanks...I removed the hyperlink from the submit button and re-published

If I right click in the form and go to "form Properties" and then clcik on
the "Options Button", there are 5 tabs, one of which is "Confirmation Page".
I have the page I want displayed in that field, "order_confirmation.htm" but
it does not display the page when you clcik on the "Submit" button on the
form.
 
Your page is not order.asp but is at
http://www.appleuniversity.net/order_form.htm
It is using FP File Upload which requires a Windows Server host that supports it w/ permissions set per
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299763&Product=fp2002

- you can not just save the upload file to the _private folder

Whoops, yes, you are right...I had changed it to a htm page from an asp page.

What about the email issue? I can't seem to get it to email the form
results, even though I seem to have all the form properties correct?

ok...I got the file upload to work. Thanks.

I created a folder in the website called uploads and the files are uploaded
there when the user clicks the submit button.

one of my remaining issues is that the page
http://www.appleuniversity.net/order_form.htm has one form with a bunch of
fields to enter data....and the file upload field.

I want the data in the fields to be emailed when the user clicks submit.

If I need to get the files uploaded and the fields filled out in the same
instance by the user, can I get the field data emailed and the file uploaded
too?

And when a file is uploaded, how can I match it up with the data from the
fields that are emailed?

You can't match them w/ the FP forms handler
- other than perhaps by date/time stamp
Will require server side scripting and a DB solution
