| Hi Thomas,
|
| Thanks again for your prompt reply. The information was
| useful, I have installed the IIS on my machine as you
| suggested, but I still have the same problem (I do not
| know how to start the IIS).
|
| I will restate the problem. I have FP2002 running on
| Win200. I have just created a small web site using the
| Corporate Presence template and have modified the product
| request form to better suit my needs. At the bottom of
| this form are 2 buttons: submit and reset. I have
| attached a confirmation page to the submit button. When I
| view the site in preview mode and click on the submit
| button I get the message I sent you before as opposed to
| the confirmation page. Where am I going wrong?
|
| I am a very beginner to FrontPage and will require
| spoonfeeding (I am following the advice in the 'Complete
| Reference') book!
|
| I am reluctant to publish my site on the web as it is not
| finished and yet I would like to test that form
| functionality before publishing the site.
|
| Many thanks for your understanding.
