MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / September 2005Forms and getting them to work
ok first thing i dont want to be told to go to a help page made by David Bartosik , ive to them over and over, i ean i have crawled through google and yahoo serach trying to find a solutions, and ic ant find one, the FAQ by David Bartosik arnt helpful and dont answer my problem, i turn to the people here for help. i've created a webpage on MS Publisher 2003, it has a form but when the submit button is pressed i) no info is sent to my email, and ii) i get a screen sayng: The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please try the following: Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly. If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted. Click the Back button to try another link. HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS) the address of the form is http://www.robwaite.co.uk/index2b_files/page0002.htm the webpage address for the 'this page cannot be found has webbot in it, so i am guessing its a webbot problem. my webspace provider says that FPE are enabled. so basically all i want is my form to work. please, please can someone help me to get this form working, it is all that is stopping my page from being complete. reagards Jay What's with the attitude? Geez. Well anyway, let's take this one step at a time nice and slow.... 1. "I" can confirm your site has FPSE installed because the following URL http://www.robwaite.co.uk/_vti_inf.html creates a confirmation page. 2. Now it's your turn, can "you" confirm that "you" published the web site in the HTTP protocol and only the HTTP protocol as clearly indicated in item 2 of the (supposedly dreadful) Publisher FAQ and fully detailed on page http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=102 ?

My host customer rep did not know what could be done. I was about to call my PC manufacturer, but thanks to this post and the FAQ's I have learned a whole heap. Great contributions. Now I just have to ensure that the form gets to my email. http://wwwgriffsservices.com , a couple of things to work out on the site still, but the form issue was the killer. Thanks again > What's with the attitude? Geez. > [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > > > > Jay I have developed a website using Publisher 2003 (http://home.comcast.net/~sxmlady) . The site includes a web form on the last page for customers to complete & email thier responses to me. I know the form properties are correct; however, the SUBMIT button won't work. I have enabled Front Page Ext. thru Comcast but understand that for the Ext to work, the files must be uploaded in HTTP format....but as far as I know, Comcast only offers FTP uploading. After numerous phone calls to and many hours of troubleshooting with, no one at Comcast or Microsoft seems to know how to combat this problem. I've researched the problem on both Comcast & Microsoft sites, and I've followed your posted instructions....clearly I'm missing something. Every other component of my site works fine--it's just the submit button. I realize I need to upload it in http format, but that doesn't seem to be an option with Comcast. I've been trying to resolve this for weeks and am at my wits' end!! Can you provide ste-by-step instructions? Thanks, jl > What's with the attitude? Geez. > [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] > > > > Jay If you have FrontPage extensions on your account then you have HTTP publishing. You must be getting host support with no knowledge of FrontPage extensions. But then ISP's don't make the best host's, it's just not their business. But anyway, with FPSE running all you do is follow my http publishing article. However, it seems you do not have them installed. Or perhaps they are corrupted and need to be reinstalled. Because I cannot access the FPSE config page that confirms the successful install of FPSE. Browse to http://home.comcast.net/~sxmlady/_vti_inf.html - and it's a no page found error.

I had already followed all of your steps about publishing using http thru Publish to the Web on Pub 2003, but I kept getting error msgs. As for installing Front Page Ext, all I know to do is to go into the Comcast site & click the enable Front Pg Ext button. Comcast confirmed that they are enabled.

I am using Publisher 2000 and am trying to get a one line form box to return the e-mail address of our customers. All is well except the customer is asked for a login name and password!!! Don't want that. My site provider has added the FrontPage Server Extensions. I am uploading using only HTML. (My web site provider thinks that MS Publisher forms do not work, and that I must resort to using FrontPage?) Any help will be greatly appreciated.
