Confirmation page

[Guest]

I'm creating a web site that I want certian users to be able to add
information to a database. I can create a form and add it directly to the
database.

However, I would like to put a confirmation page before I commit the
addition or change to the database. I found the document for "Create a
confirmation page" threw Microsoft, and I followed the steps. However, I
can't get it to work. When I click the submit button it stays on the page
and all fields are blank.

I created the form with an ASP extentions and click submit, I get nothing.
I renamed the form with an HTM extentions and tried it again and this is the
error that I got.

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page

You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish
this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.

So does the form have to be an HTML extension or does it have to be an ASP?
Also, if I need to installed server extentions on my local machine, then I
need to know what to do to make sure that I got that.

I thank you for all the help.

You can not do what you want using the FP Form Handler or Database components, because when you see
the Confirmation page the content has already been processed.

You would have to custom write the script to handle this process with ASP/VBScript.
