FP2003 doesn't recognize FP Server Extensions

Trying to set up a guest book page using the FP2003 page template. Server is
running FP Extensions but I get an error message saying that it isn't. I
uploaded the page anyway and it didn't work, but when the person hosting the
site ran the page it worked OK. After he did that I could post messages also,
but when I synchronized guestlog.htm back to my machine, edited it and loaded
it back on the server, it stopped working again.

Any suggestions?

How are you uploading your web?

Post the URL

Feeling like an idiot...

I was uploading via FTP, rather than using the 'FrontPage or Sharepoint
Services' option. I used the correct setting and it works now. Thanks, Rob,
for asking the right question!

Jim -

If you've uploaded via FTP there's a good chance you've already corrupted the FP extensions. You should ask your hosting company to check
and/or reinstall them.
