I have created a form and a confirmation page in Front Page 2003. In trying
to connect the confirmation page to the form, the "help" instructions on
Front Page instruct me to do Form Properties / Options / Confirmation Page
URL. The only problem is that once I click options, confirmation page URL
doesn't exist anywhere. I get "Action" "Method" and "Encoding Type". Can
anyone help?

That's because your sending the form to a script, in which case you need to
configure the script to direct the browser to the confirmation page.

Will, I believe you're looking in the wrong place in the form properties.

Go to "Options", not "Advanced".

To put the confirmation page in using the FP form handler, see
http://www.murrayweb.com/faq.asp?id=24

If you're using a third party script, you can go to "Advanced" and specify
hidden fields for certain things, but this doesn't seem to be applicable
here. If you're using a script other than the Frontpage form handler, you
need to consult the instructions that came with the script regarding things
like confirmation pages.

The results he is seeing indicates he IS going to options AND that "send to
other", which you would select to have the form processed by a script, is
selected.
