Hi, I keep getting this error when i try to use the form I uploaded onto my
web site
" Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page". I made sure the
submit button is pointed to _private/form.txt and it was saved as allfile as
it spesifys on the microsoft web site and its still not working. Any ideas?
could the form.txt file under _private be wrong?

Does the server have extensions??
Did you publish using http://www.websitename.com ??

I think it's because the "_private" directory is not accessible to the
public. If you go to your site (online not local) and then add
/_private you'll most likely get a 404 error. That's where you can
upload stuff that you don't want accessible to others which is making
is inaccessible to your submit function. Try it in another directory
to see if it works before doing too much more work...

Form results are "supposed" to be saved in the _private folder.

Yes, I have installed and reinstalled extentions several times with no
results. Do you think this problem is server side or client side.

Could the txt file in _private that my form is pointing to be corrupt?

Have your host make sure that the _private folder has "server write" permissions set.

It has to be done through server administration.
