Error when using Forms

[Norris Mantooth]

I created a form and set the form to e-mail me when it
was submitted. Everything seems to work until you press
the submit button when you get the error "Cannot run the
FrontPage Server Extensions' Smart HTML interpreter on
this non-HTML page".

My hosting company says it's not their extensions but
when I use the same form on my company's web site,
everything works fine.

Got any ideas how I can get this to work?

There was a security patch some time ago that stopped the
Smart HTML Interpreter from working on ASP pages. Perhaps
your hosting company has this installed and your
company's Web server doesn't.

The problem, BTW, was that bad guys could easily trick
the Smart HTML Interpreter into sending the source code
for ASP pages.
