forms help

Hi I am using frontpage 2003 to create forms, and when I hit the submit
button I do not get the confirmation page, rather I get the page that lives
it the vti folder.

/_vti_bin/shtml.dll/leapaward/form.htm

When I fill out this page, then it brings up the confirmation page-- can
anyone tell me why, or what the problem is??

Thank you

Hi Stefan- I did not see your reply, I posted a new problem tonite related
to the same form:: (i had it working wirting to a text file but is now broken
again) Can you help Please!!! I read something about setting the private
folder permissions-- could this be my problem?

Here is my new post:
All- I desperatley need help. My website is set up to use front page with
ms servers, but the editor i use most is dreamweaver becasue my site is set
up to use templates. (.dwt) which I mostly work in dreamweaver, but create my
new forms using the front page form genrator- I can get these working just
fine on my development server, but when posted to the live site it always
gives me the fp error agin. I have been through renaming the .csv file, or
text file, renaming the forms, putting them in different _private folders
etc, everyhting that ms tells me to try. It always never works. It always
gives an error. Also, once I pull the form back into fp after working on it
in dw- it rewrites the form code, to be _derived/norbots.htm, and then I have
to repaste the correct form code in again.

I have a particualr form that I have just created completly from scratch, I
had this working writing to a text file, but changed it to csv file, and it
has broken again....

Has anyone expirenced this issue? Is there any work around this? I have
done everything I can think of, even creating a new results file through fp,
and saving it as a csv file. Seems that something is causing my extensions
to break.

The FP Forms handler requires publishing the site using FP in http mode
- you cannot create the forms in FP and then upload the page/site w/ DW
