When you use ftp to upload your web files, it breaks the FP extensions.
FP/Publisher Forms MUST be Published to your web via the HTTP method or they
won't work. Also, your host has to allow the form handler to work.
| Thanks for your response. I had actually already read the articles you
| mention, and had tried the steps to publish via HTTP, but my file wouldn't
| publish as it kept saying "cannot find
http://...". I thought I may not
have
| had the right http protocol, and tried a few variations, but nothing. I've
| repeatedly asked my web host to provide me with the http protocol, or to
| confirm it, but they just keep insisting that Publisher files cannot be
| published through http, and I think they've decided to stop talking to me
on
| the subject! (ipowerweb, by the way - I had read good things about them
and
| had great service up to the point I started to have problems with submit
| forms - now they just tell me to hire a web designer).
| In any case, I never did publish through HTTP, but my web forms DID WORK -
| although I have no idea what made them work. I do have MS FrontPage
| extensions installed, but the forms aren't working when I update the
website.
| Any more help??
| Thanks, mle
