forms with asp extension don't work?

[Troy S]

Hi All

I'm having a wierd prob.

Running WinSvr03/FPSext2002 and FP2000/02/03.

I'm creating forms with using an .asp extension. When I use the form the
form refreshes with no output to either email or .txt file (form properites
are set correctly). However if I change the extension to .htm the form works
fine.

There's got to be a simple answer to this but I can't find one.

A little help would be really appreciated...
Kind Regards
Troy

You can't use the FP Form Handler with forms that have extensions other than .htm or .html.

If you want to use ASP, then you must also process the forms via a custom written ASP Form Handler.

Just because the server supports Frontpage, it doesn't necessary mean it supports
ASP .....and the server extensions are not ASP scripts.

You need asp code in your file if you save with .asp but since your form page is
a normal html form then you save it with htm or html, not asp.

Thanks all...

I feared this was the case...

We have multiple sites and because we've gone to asp so that we can better
use includes yet make the simple editing process usable for our editors.
However they need forms too.

Is there a converter that could convert from FPSextension form handler to
asp handlers by any chance?

Silly me, here's thinking that as FPServerExtensions, FPage and ASP are
basically Microsoft they'd have compatibility. Oh well...

Thanks again for your help...

You can still continue to use FP to create the forms, however the ASP Form Handlers scripts page are
created based on the requirements of each form. How you would write a ASP Form Handler script for
sending email is based on the ASP mail component installed on the server.
