Publishing a form to the web

[Tony]

Any help is appreciated.

I created a website using Microsoft Publisher 2002 that
includes an order form. I saved the file and uploaded
the data to the ISP following the steps outlined in
Publisher. The web pages all appear including the form
page, but when you enter the data and hit SUBMIT, an
error appears with PAGE NOT FOUND. In the address bar of
the browser it reads --WEBOT.

Any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

--Tony

I'm still having problems. I understand the difference between the http
and ftp and uploading files. The problem is that >with Windows XP the WPW
forces you to select MSN to place the files. None of the windows let you
select a different >ISP or transfer to another location. I tried to find
another HTTP wizard on the Internet for XP. No luck. The old Windows

Wizard had windows that walked you through the process and allowed you to

make selections, not XP. There must be a >simple way to upload the files so
that the form works. The error I get is PAGE NOT FOUND and -WEBBOT in the

browser address.

I've contacted the ISP, Interland and they can't help.

I've spent 1.5 days trying to get the Publisher form to work.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ..what to DO!

Forget the WPW, use Pub to upload. Visit www.davidbartosik.com/ppt.htm and
go thru the uploading tutorial. You'll need to use the http method as per
the info you have now from my previous response.

Your ISP is irrelevant unless they are also your web host.

Thanks David for your help...it worked. My next question
is about the HTML behind the form. Is there a way to
edit the HTML? The pre-designed order form that is in
Publisher prints out the form in the wrong order that I
need. When you place your order, Items 2 and 3 appear at
the bottom of the printout and don't appear on the
printout in the proper order under Item 1. Also, the From
field in the email response states (e-mail address removed). I
would like to change that as well. I have expereince with
HTML editing and think all the above changes are easy to
be made.
Any advice on how to access the HTML code?

Thanks,

Pub writes the code dynamically on the save, you don't have access to it.
Pub is not an html editor. Additionally the FP extensions process the form
dynamically on the server and generate the response page, that is
un-editable.

The email address for a form is set on the submit button properties, right
click the submit button.

As far as the rest of your post I really have no idea what you are referring
to or trying to do. You've certainly lost me on "printouts" since I thought
we were talking about web pages.
