using Win XP/FP2002 uploading to a linux server. Have a
form
that I want to have write to a form_results.csv text file
in the _private folder. when I submit the form I get an
error stating that path/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/... is not
found on this server. In FP, even though the _vti_bin
folder is there (windows explorer shows it) it is not
visible in the folder view of FP even though "show hidden
files and folders" is checked. Have tried
delete/reinstall of FP extensions, recalculation etc to
no avail. _vti_bin folder is in the default website.
How can I resolve this problem?

Thanks Stu

I have to ask how you are "uploading" the web.
If you are FTP'ing the site you will corrupt the extensions.
"Also" FrontPage will not publish all of the associated files
for the form when using ftp.
Make sure you publish using http://yourweb.com and then
FrontPage will publish all of the related files.

I run into this issue when publishing to newly created
domains / accounts because I am forced to publish by ftp'ing
to the IP address. The instant I can publish to the domain
using http, everything works.

1. You will never see the _vti folder from within FP.
2. The _vti folder are never publish between machines/locations.
3. Rename your .csv file to .txt and see it that helps.
