Failure page greyed out

[Guest]

After creating several form, I go to create another and the failure page is
grey.

I am in form properties on the confirmation tab (FP'03).

How did this happen and what's my solution?

Can you explain "Failure page"

Ah OK.
Actually it's Form properties > options > confirmation. ( in FP 2003 )
That is only available if some of the form fields use validation.

That said, I don't recommend using a failure page, but recommend letting the validation show
an alert
right over the form page.
Reason being, if you display a failure page without it opening in a new window, when the
user goes back to the form, everything they've entered will be cleared and they'll have to
start over again.

Yes, that's the one. Sorry.

I see. Somehow I locked on that being a dead link, page not available
thing. Thinking more about it, seems that would not work, huh?

I do validate fields, so I will just not use a validation failure page. Oh,
the name kind of says it all.

Thanks for your time.
