Form Properties

[Ron]

Hi - I use FP2000 and have a new form running on a Windows server. I've used
forms previously, but always on a Unix server with a hosted FORMMAIL cgi
script. On the Windows server, I edited the form properties online and was
able to get the form to work properly. However, after I made a minor change
to the form and published it, it appeared that the form properties were
reset to some kind of default values. Is it SOP that I will need to re-edit
the form properties everytime I make a change to this page? Something I'm
doing wrong?
Thanks,
Ron

Explain how you are editing the form properties.

I open the web page on the Windows server in my browser, click on the
Toolbar icon to "Edit in FP", right-click on "Form Properties", then use the
new window to set the recipient email address, confirmation page, etc. All
of this worked fine until a later time, when I edited the form on my
hard-drive and republished this page to the server. That appeared to cause
the server to over-write all of the changes I had made to "Form Properties".
I prefer to do page changes offline and re-publish them, rather than
online-edit the server version. Is that a bad choice?

Ok, you need open your local web / site directly in FP, make your changes, disregard any FP messages
about not have the extensions, etc., save the form and then publish to the live/remote server.
