Can't save aspx pages

[Luke]

In FP2002, if I open an aspx page, and click save (I don't
even have to make any changes), and then view the page in
a browser, it just returns an error:

Control 'LeftColumnNav1_SimpleSearch1_txtSimpleSearch' of
type 'txtBox'
must be placed inside a form tag with
runat=server

I've seen many topics on various forums about this error,
but the thing is, I only get this error when using FP on
my computer. I can go downstairs to a different computer
with FP2002, and save any aspx page without error, but it
won't do it here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FP a
few times to no avail.

So I guess it isn't so much of a problem with my web as it
is with my FP installation?

This is a long shot, but:

1. Choose Page Options from the Tools menu.
2. Make sure the General tab is selected.
3. Whatever the current setting of Automaticlaly
Enclose Form Fields Within A Form, change it.

That said, if you have a text box that contains a
runat="server" attribute, you really should enclose the
entire form in <form runat="server"> and </form> tags.

Thanks, but it didn't work out. Any other suggestions?

Thanks, but it didn't work out. Any other suggestions?

What kind of .aspx page is this? For example:

o Is it a custom page someone wrote in Visual Studio .NET?
o Is the Web server running Windows SharePoint Services?
o Is this a Web Part Page designed to run under Windows SharePoint Services?

I don't think it is running sharepoint. It is an aspx page
from StoreFront 6, some web store software. I'm going to
try and reinstall FP, Storefront, AND the .NET Framework
to see if that helps. Thanks Jim.
