FP 2002 input and search questions

[jb]

Hi All,

Got Two questions: am not too computer brilliant, but not dull either (can
cast a fair shadow)(when the sun shines)

Using FP 2002 - pc base (Win XP home)

Web site is up and running good - getting positive feedback - FP extensions
are in place (sez the site host boss)

1st question is how can I get the feedback that people leave - back to me
by e-mail? Now it goes into a file on the site and I have to manually go in
and read it. (kinda a pain)

2nd one - I can not get the "search" function to work... have enabled "web"
in the search box ?? either returns an error or nothing???

I generally do the work on my pc with FP2002 and upload with FileZilla...

I have "published" from FP with some luck... but am still getting informed
on procedure, but also have "worked from the website on line" am seeing more
"choices and option boxes" on line then from the computer??
Guidance in this, or any area, is appreciated...

the web site is at http://www.redhotartspot.com

have a peek and feedback is appreciated.

Many thanks in advance - JOhn b - Artist, Webmaster (by default) - Wisconsin
Cheesehead (by choice)

Please remove the REMOVE from my e-mail address to respond, please respond
on line so others can benefit from my lack of knowledge.

The reason those function are not working is because you are not publishing the site to the
live/remote server via FP's File Menu | Publish Web / Site.

If the live/remote server has the FP extensions, you have most likely have corrupted them, and the
web host will need to re-install them, thereafter only use the FP publish function to upload
content.
