Custom Confirmation page for a form (third try- in txt format)

[Mark Flynn]

I created a Custom Confirmation page for my form. The form data goes to an
Access database located in the "fpdb" folder on the server.
When I click the "Submit" button on the form, the Confirmation Page appears
listing the fields (in bold type face), but not the data.

First Name: FirstName
Last Name: LastName
Address: Address
etc...

Here's the FP html for the LastName:

Last Name: <!--webbot bot="ConfirmationField" S-Field="LastName" -->

Here's the URL for the form page:

http://www.josephinedemocrats.org/Volunteer1.asp

I made a note of all of the field names, and used: Insert > Component >
Confirmation Field. Then used the Confirmation field Properties dialog box
to enter the field names. In the form, I right clicked to the Form
Properties dialog box > Options - and inserted the Confirmation page's URL.
The correct data goes into the database, but not into the Confirmation page.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, Mark Flynn

Unless you are using the FP forms handler on a .htm page (not .asp,
you need to code the confirmation page as an .asp page that shows the results from the database or previous ASP forms handler code

Hi Stefan:
As you suggested, I changed the file's extension from .htm to .asp , and the
Confirmation form works perfectly.
Thanks for your help.
