Form problems - 10/15/2002 13:51:40
I am using FrontPage 2000.
I have 2 forms on my site www.crowdcontrolexecutive.com
B4 I published the site I installed FrontPage Extensions from the control panel provided by my hosting company ( www.brython.com ).
In FP when I choose the form settings in form properties & click ' OK' I get this error message:
This form is being created on a Disk-Based Web or the FrontPage Server Extensions have not been configured to send e-mail. Please direct your system administrator or Internet Server Provider to the instructions in
" Setting up E-mail Options on Windows" or " Setting Up E-mail Options on UNIX" in the Server Extensions Resource
Kit.
The 1st form doesn' t work @ all: http://www.crowdcontrolexecutive.com/contact%20us.htm
The 2nd form sends results 2 a text file & goes 2 the confirmation page but the fields results aren' t shown: http://www.crowdcontrolexecutive.com/recruitment%20opportunities.htm
both forms are set 2 send results 2 the same text file & 2 an email address + a confirmation page.
I have tryed uninstalling the FP extensions from the control panel, clearing the cache & FP temp files on my PC then reinstalling the FP extensions then publishing again.
Do I need 2 configure the server extensions to deliver the email to an email transport? There isn' t an option on the control panel 2 do this.
I just can' t suss out why these forms won' t work 
PLEASE can someone advise.

Yes, you need to locate the Server Extensions Administration program. In windows XP it' s found in Control Panel - Administrative Tools.
Again in XP, when the Server Extensions Administration program is open, right-click on the web server and you' ll find settings for your FP email.
I think the process is somewhat different in other Windows/Web Server configurations, and I have no idea about email forms and disk-based webs.
hth,

Just ignore this, it won' t ever work on a disc based web, it should work when published. You do not need to do any configuring of extensions, they should already be configured on your server if they are installed.
One thing I would suggest trying is removing the spaces in your file names.
You have called them
contact us.htm
and recruitment opportunities.htm
which shows up as
contact%20us.htm
and recruitment%20opportunities.htm
Try using contact_us.htm and recruitmen_opportunities.htm
I do not know if this is the cause of the problem but it certainly could be.
I am not really a great expert on FP forms, which I hardly ever use, so if that is not the answer I am not sure what is.

does your host use sendmail or smtp?
also your recruitment form isn' t doing any validation. i was allowed to send a blank form. you may want to consider validating your fields prior to the form being submitted.

amavrick,
I am new to OutFront but I am very good with forms, particularly FrontPage forms. I tried to check your form out but you have right click disabled. Maybe you could include your form HTML in your followup post and I will take a look. Be sure to include start <Form> and end </Form> tags.

doesn' t matter if right click is disabled. file > save as > open in notepad.
