Submit Button

[Terence]

I am a newibe when it comes to Web design and Microsoft
Publisher. I have designed a web page that I would like
to post on our companies network. The web page is a
online training tool for our employees. At the end of
the training I have a short multiply choice test. I
designed the test around the "Response Form" which came
with Microsoft Publisher. I added a submit button at the
end of the test so that I could review the results at the
end of the training. I thought that I could get the
program to save the results on the network as a file. But
when I coverted the web page everthing work great until I
hit the submit button and I got an error "The page cannot
be displayed" and the file was not saved. Can someone
please advise what I can do to fix this problem? Thanks
in advance Terence

Sorry David I should have meantioned that I was using
2003 Microsoft Publisher. I d/l your Creating and
Uploading a Website presentation, which btw looks great,
but as you know Microsoft change stuff in 2003 from 2002
so it's hard for me to follow. I found most of the stuff
by got stuck at exporting the file. I'm assuming that
they change it to publish to the web?? Any help is
appreciated.
Thanks,
Terence

Just cosmetic changes, really.
Fundamentals are the same.

David,

How do I get the submitt button to work if I don't use an
ISP? Is it possible to put the page on a network drive,
have the employees view it, have them fill out the
questionaire and have the web page put the answers on the
network drive. Do I still need to have the extension
installed? Where would I get the extensions?

Thanks for your help,
Terence

Processing a web page, and processing a web page form has to be done on a
web server. If you just need forms completed locally you should look into
Microsoft InfoPath.
