If the FP extensions are installed on the live/remote server and configured by the web host to

which one is better to use an .asp page or a .htm page i have both set up but

:
You can't use FP confirmation pages w/ .asp pages, only w/ .htm pages
With .asp you write your own .asp confirmation after the .asp receiving page processed the
form
