FrontPage Forms/Confirmation

I have a user who developed a FrontPage form that sends the results to a file and sends them in an email. Then he has a custom confirmation page that shows up so the user can see what they submitted. When the user submits the form, the results get added to the .csv file, the email get's sent, but the confirmation page will not display

I get the classic Front Page Error, Please contact your system administrator. We are running IIS 5.0, FP2k Server Extensions, and FP2000 client. When I check the application log, there is not an entry. The only entry that ever showed up was a folder redirection problem and group policy issues

Does anybody have any ideas, if you need more information, let me know. I've spent a lot of time on this one and need some help

Thanks

Jeremy

right click the form/ select form properties, and check to see that the
confirmation page is specified. (maybe they didn't specify the right page)

This is the tricky part. How is he passing the values back to the confirmation
page, as this can't be done with the standard form handler. Since the values
are being saved to a text based comma separated value file, it's going to take
some server side scripting such as asp and a data base to do this.

He is trying to use the FP form handler to do this. He created his confirmation page and then specified the fields he wanted to grab off the form. I think that even if we just display the confirmation page, without sending an email, or writing the file, we still get the same problem.

That's what I'm saying. It can't be done with the standard form handler.

The form will work if you want to save it to a file and also email at the same
time.

However, using the standard FrontPage form, you can't pass the values from the
form to the confirmation page because the confirmation page is displayed at the
same time the form handler is saving and emailing the values. Therefore as far
as the confirmation page is concerned, the values don't exist at the instant the
confirmation page is being displayed.

You will need to use some sort of server side scripting such as asp to write the
values to the confirmation page and display it

It could also probably be done with an external javascript.

Jeremy,

You can have a custom confirmation page with Confirmation
Fields to display some or all of the forms contents.

From the sound of things, there is either some small
syntax error in the confirmation URL or the extensions may
need to be reset.

I have basic explanations for both setting up properties
and setting up a cusom confirmation page on my site.
