Sending form info to .asp page doesn't work

[jseth]

When I create a form and try to send the info to an .asp
page, I insert the "web component/advanced/confirmation
field", but when I test the form, no form info shows up
on the asp page. I have seen this problem posted on
forums but unfortunately I have not seen an answer. Has
anyone had this problem? It's happened with both FP2002
and FP2003. The web server is IIS 6.o, with server
extensions 5.0.2.5012, if that helps any. Thanks.

You can not use the FP Form Handler (form/confirmation) with page that have extensions other than

Hi J. Seth,

What does the ASP page do with the forms post data? Is the ASP page a FP generated page?

Hi,
I have a form (created in FP) that an individual will
fill in some info, and I want that info to be inserted
into a certificate (FP custom confirmation form set up to
look like a certificate). When I change the form
properties so that it emails the info to me, and
select "Options/Confirmation Page" and link to the custom
confirmation page, I get the following error:
"Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this
page: "URL of the confirmation page.asp". Our webserver
folks have not come back to me with an answer about it
yet, so I thought I'd try you kind folks. Thanks.

Hi. I tried changing the confirmation form's extension to
htm, however now the page "cannot be displayed". The form
itself is an htm form created in FP, and the confirmation
form is an asp, also created in FP.

Does this .asp page write to the database, as well as being the confirmation page?

I may be showing an extreme brain cramp here, but I don't
have it writing to any database - I just want it to post
to the confirmation page. When I don't specify any
confirmation form, the data comes up just fine in the
generic confirmation page that comes with FP.

Just for grins, I created a database for the form,
created an .asp to show the database results (with the
database wizard). When I fill in the form and click
Submit, the database table shows up with "No records
found". Hmmm....

 

[Thomas A. Rowe]

If you are not writing to a database or using any ASP function, then why are you giving the
confirmation page a .asp extension?

Because I get an HTTP 405 error when I use an htm
extension.

Then you need to contact your host.

That I did do. In the interim, I used VBScript and
request.form which worked perfectly (and gave me some
much needed scripting practice anyway). Thanks for your
help and suggestions.
