I've been reading the previous posts and I've tried to go the website you
keep recommending, only it is not working...a blank page displays and says
done...so please...help

I've used Publisher 2007 to create a webstie (www.geocities.com/mphsreunion)
Everything works fine on it except the Memory Form page...the submit button
doesn't work. I have it set up to email the responses to me but doesn't seem
to work...

If you could offer some assistance or point me in a direction that is
working that would be great as I've pulled all my hair out I think.

I looked at your code and I see this:
<form action=--WEBBOT-SELF-- method=post>

It should read something like this::
<form action="/cgi/gdform.cgi" method=post>

In publisher there are settings to make the submit action complementary to
the servers form program and accept the form data and send it to a specified
address.

Not sure what if any form programs geocities has.

Which website is not working? Perhaps you are reading old posts with old
links?

If you are using forms in your web publication, reference: Publisher web
publication forms 101:

Reference: How to publish a Publisher web in HTTP:

And if you are using IE7 and/or Vista, the instructions may vary.
