Embedded form in htm table

[Guest]

Can anyone tell me how to place a form into a htm page. I have a htm page
designed in a table and I want to have a small "enter info" section at the
top. I was able to place a form in the table cell, however it will not write
to the database. I keep getting the error about "must be an ASP extension."
I imported another web site that does this, however it only shows me that
they used "Custom ISAPI, NSAPI...etc. and listed a file/form name uner the
form name properties. There was also some fields listed under the hidden
field properties. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,

The form action must post to a page with a .asp extension. The page with the .asp extensions then
connect and write to the database.

Thanks for the information Thomas. is a script needed in order to do this?
My domain host is running asp and Frontpage support. Also do I send/point
the information to the asp form by using "send to file", "send to database"
or "send to other"? Thanks again.

If you want to send to a database and use the FP database components, then your select Send to
Database

If you want to send to a database, but right your own ASP/VBScript, then you would select Send to
Other, and then enter the .asp page that will process the form data.

Thomas, Don't mean to be a bother, just a confused newbie. How would I send
to a database since it is not an asp file? What are the Frontpage components
you are referring to? As I said, I am a newbie and know nothing about
writing scripts. Are there built in scripts for this, if so what are they
named, or can I get them somewhere else? Once again I apologize for being so
elementary, trust me I searched the online help for hours before I posted
this. Thanks again and God Bless..

Ok. If you want to send to a database use the FP database components (Send To Database option) the
page would have to be named with a .asp extension.

If you want to send to a database, but not rename your page, you will have learn to manually write
the ASP/VBScript needed to process the data from the form currently on your page, which would then
post the data to another page, let say "process.asp", which would contain your custom written
ASP/VBScript that would take the data from the from and write it to the database, and maybe send you
an email, etc.

Thomas, Thanks again for your help......Are you for hire? I can not/dont
know how to write a script. We thought our page was OK but we are now
loosing money because people are utilizing our advertisement clicks, however
we are not getting the data. We would be willing to hire a consultant that
can get this done or help us, meaning me, do this. Once again I thank you
and may God bless you.
