Form Feedback Problem

[ChrisP]

I created a simple form using the Form Wizard in FrontPage (Office XP).
I set it up so that it will send the results to my email. However, it is not
sending the results. The url has the url to the current directory the form is
in and "--Web Bot--"
in it. I have no idea about web bots. I know how to create forms and use CGI
to process forms, but I just wanted to set this simple example up to see if
it works.

I also created a simple webpage with a counter I inserted using the
INSERT>Web Component>hit counter and even that doesn't work.

I have a Windows 2003 server with IIS running and I know I have the
FrontPage Extensions installed and configured properly. I checked the control
panel to see if it was installed and I checked the IIS manager to see if the
extensions were allowed and everything is good.

I have no idea what to do now.

Thanks ahead of time,
Chris

What error messages are you getting?
Links to faulty pages will also help to resolve problems.

The error is page not found and the form isn't emailed to me. Like I said
before, the URL changes to the current directory the form.html file is in and
"--Web Bot--"

Here is a snipet of code that this web bot is comping from.

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="fpweb:///_private/formrslt.htm"
s-format="HTML/DL" b-label-fields="TRUE" S-Email-Address="(e-mail address removed)"
S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" --><P>

The u-file="fpweb:///_private/formrslt.htm" indicates you are working on a stand alone page or in disc based web
- in a server based web that would normally be a relative path as u-file="_private/formrslt.htm"

For forms (or counters) to work they need to be created in a FP Web and published using FP in http mode to a on line server running
the FP Server Extensions
