Hi,
I created a form Mail using Front Page and uploaded it to my server who has FP extensions installed and although the form when called comes up and accepts information when the submit button is entered I receive a page not found error. I enabled from FP the email save feature but obviously the code is incorrect and it doesn't send it to my email address. Need Help

It sounds like you have not checked for a response page. Check to see if the response page is actually located in the location that it should be.

If you do not have a response page it is probally looking for one.

You will need to create it and check your code to make sure you are pointing to the right one.

Well, I'm not altogether sure my Action involves a response form, I', trying to post the form response back to my email. Below is the code:

webbot bot="www.skbi.manifestsog.org/SaveResults" U-File="_private/form_results.txt" S-Format="HTML/BR" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="[email protected]" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields

Normally with a form mail script you will have a response page, didnt you mention that it was saying page not found?

Are you getting the form results in e-mail? Then more than likely you are missing a response page (A page to let the user know that they have indeed sent the message and all is well, besides our women having outdated fashions.

_private folder on the server but still no success.

I don't have front page or I would log in and help you directly, find out what was wrong and then tell you. Maybe someone would help in this fashion.

Remember, it is always the simplest thing you are missing.

Possible a hidden tag in the form that is needed to direct the response location (the page you made)

Show me the html.

I am thinking that this is what you are missing, or post the url.

glendow try this.

webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="\_private\formrslt.htm" s-format="HTML/DL" b-label-fields="TRUE"

I removed the domain.

If I remember correctly front page uses backslashes so was not totally sure about the pathing.

OK but you are close, it is definitely related to the hidden tag on that page. You do have the file located in the _private directory. Give me about 30 to search for correct syntax and get back to you. Never fear, the 4 pound yorkie is here (Actually he is, he growls at me a lot) EVIL!

Try removing the first backslash

so instead of \_private\formrslt.htm

try

_private\formrslt.htm
