Form Problem

[Michelle]

Ok, I have an issue w/forms ... well, I created a form
using the wizard in Front Page 2000, and well, I want the
form to be emailed back to me (when submitted), but when
I filled out the form properties for that form, I get an
error message, "this form is being created on a disk
based web or the Front Page Server Extensions have not
been configured to send email. Please direct your system
adminstrator or service provider to the instructions
in "Setting Up Email Options in Windows" or in
the "Service Extensions Resource Kit" ... and then it
says, if you don't have the "Server Extentions Resource
Kit", you can find it here:
www.microsoft.com/frontpage/wpp/serk ... but when I go
there, that page is not found ...

However, I did search Microsoft for the extentions ...
without luck ... My form is showing up on the server, but
when I enter an email address (and upload it)..the form
disappears ... ? I know the Front Page Extensions are
installed on the server, as I have a whole website
already on it. Is this the easiest way of form handling
or can I use something different, or is there an easy
fix? Hope someone can help.

You have to wait to test the form after you have published the form to
server that has the FP extensions (configured by the host to process email)
via FP's http publishing mode. Locally to have the FP extensions, you must
be running PWS under Windows 98 or IIS under Windows 2000/XP Pro.
