Submit Problems with forms - 1/2/2008 5:39:10   
I am having problems with a form that untill recently worked fine.
The form should email results to our email address, and show a page to the customer that says 'Thank you for your order etc. Unfortunately whenever the submit button is clicked the page seems to be directed to a page that doesn't exist on our server. The server say they have no problems.

I have tried so many things - can anyone PLEASE help

the form page is

http://www.cammardesigns.co.uk/OrderForm3.htm

the displayed page is
http://www.cammardesigns.co.uk/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/OrderForm3.htm

and it should be
http://www.cammardesigns.co.uk/OrderPlaced.htm

If I open the page through frontpage (view your published site), it opens a browser & it all works fine.
But if I open a browser any other way it wont work

Big thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this and offer advice. (and a very Happy New Year too)

<form method="POST" action=
	_vti_bin/shtml.exe/OrderForm3.htm align="center" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">


That's why.

Are you PUBLISHing with FP or uploading with FTP?

Make sure the FPSEs are installed and working

Hi Jaybee - thank you so much for your reply, unfortunately - I still cant find the problem - where is that piece of code you found? (I'm afraid I am better at wedding stationery than websites) I am publishing through front page.
thanks again - Rach x

Hi Jaybee, I can see the code on the source page, but I have no Idea how it got there or how to get rid of it. It doesn't show when I am in frontpage on code. i'm sorry if I sound a bit dim, but I set up my forms over a year ago, and they have always worked fine untill recently - I have no idea why they have suddenly stopped working.

FP put it there. It's a bot, when you click insert form it just happens. I loathe FP forms with a vengeance and we got more problem on here about those than anything else.

Check your form properties and make sure the page is specified correctly in there.

Other than that, I set up a Forms FAQ which is here
http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m-338498/tm.htm

see if any of that helps.
