MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / September 2007Web Forms
A form on my website is supposed to allow my customers to enter information and submit it to my email address. Instead, when they hit the submit button they get a screen that says "The page cannot be found". At the botom of the screen it says "HTTP 404 - File not found Internet Explorer" What do I need to do to get my form working? Make sure you have Front Page Server Extensions enabled on your server. Also, don't publish with FTP. I was having this same problem until I changed those two items! > A form on my website is supposed to allow my customers to enter information > and submit it to my email address.

In the box that pops up (where it asks for the file name), type in http://www.yoursite.com. It will connect to the server, ask for your user name and password and then continue publishing. > What do I publish with if not FTP > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > > Internet Explorer" > > > What do I need to do to get my form working? If that is not enough instruction, you could go to your webhost and read through the FAQs or support section for information on how to upload using the FrontPage Server Extension, which is likely to be under uploading with FrontPage, which is basically the same mechanism you use for Publisher web pages if you use HTTP uploading protocol. You should also find some reference as to how to activate your FPSE in the FAQs. Also reference: Publisher - Uploading: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/category/1921.aspx If you are using a form in your Pub website, you will need to use HTTP uploading. Otherwise, downloading and installing a third party FTP client like FileZilla such as Don suggested might be the easiest method. Reference: Publisher web publication forms 101: http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80564.aspx And another reference using different words: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA011053521033.aspx DavidF > What do I publish with if not FTP > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >> > Internet Explorer" >> > What do I need to do to get my form working?
