forms driving me crazy

[Guest]

I've been working on this for a week with several of you, (thanks for your
patience).

I've created two forms. One works and one doesn't however with the
exception of the confirmation page and the site location they should be
nearly identical.

The first link to a site that has two working forms already but this one
does not work. gets a frontpage error.

This next link is on a different site but is similar, It works just fine.

sites are hosted by the same company. Front page extensions are installed
as evidenced by other working forms on both sites and I can open both sites
live using front page. Also other components of both sites work such as link
bars etc.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated............If you can solve
this I promise to leave everyone alone for at least a week.

On the first site (the one with the broken form) create a new blank page and
a simple form on it. Save the page, publish and see if it works. Also check
with your web host to make sure the first site has the FrontPage Extensions
set up for email transport.

David, thanks

I set up a new form as instructed. It is located at

http://www.duxburybaker.com/testformaftermsdgpost.htm

I tested it and got the front page error page but the email did go through.
Just did not get the confirmation page.

this page:

http://www.duxburybaker.com/contactDBhotprop.htm

is also on the same site and it's form works perfect. Receives confirmation
page and an e mail.

Crazy...isn't it.

The only difference that I see is that the form that doesn't work is sending
an email and also trying to save the results to a .csv file. Try removing
the save to .csv option and see if the confirmation page comes up.

Check with your web host. It could be that the _private directory has a
permissions issue and isn't marked as writable which is why the file
wouldn't save.

Can I just put the file somewhere else, like "data" and let it save there.

 

[David Berry]

Sure. See if that works.

Yes, but your web host will need to provide write permissions on the folder.

Bravo gentlemen: I actually could set the permissions with the control
panel. Changed it to write, added the file back into the form, and
bang...worked fine.

This is great info. I've seen lots of form problems posted and this sounds
like it might solve many of them.

Thank you guys again.
