cant save as .asp in FrontPage 2003

[Guest]

I am trying to create a form in FP 2003 that will collect visitors names and
mailing address when the form is filled out. It tells me that I have to save
as a .asp file but it will not accpet the change. How do I save as a .asp
file to get my form to work? And can I get the fom to drop the data into an
access DB or Excel Spreadsheet?

Thanks

Your host may have blocked the .asp filename extension. Check with them and
see if that's the case, and whether they'll open .asp for you.

Otherwise, please reply with the *exact* error message.

And can I get the fom to drop the data into an access DB or Excel Spreadsheet?

Thanks

Access, yes. Right-click your form, choose Form Properties, and click Send
To Database.

Excel, there are so many pitfalls and gotchas that you may as well figure no.
