FP Form Has Quit Working

J

I have a form used as a contest entry form that used to work. I used
it 2 years ago for hundreds of entries. I modified it last summer and
used it again. I tested it early today and it still worked. A short
time llater I modified it, and now it has quit working.

It doesn't seem to do anything, it's supposed to:

Validate the data entry for many questions
Send an email with the answers.
Saver the answers to a file
Create a confirmation page listing all the user's answers

It does none of these. Instead it sends me to a page with the
address: http://www.mydomain.com/_derived/nortbots.htm

This page reads:

The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name
changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Yada, yada, yada . . .

The code that I think is supposed to be doing this, taken from the web
version using View Source is:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="--WEBBOT-SELF--"
onSubmit="location.href='../_derived/nortbots.htm';return false;"
language="JavaScript" name="FrontPage_Form1" webbot-onSubmit="return
FrontPage_Form1_Validator(this)">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" u-file="../_private/fooytoyou.txt"
s-format="TEXT/TSV" s-label-fields="TRUE" b-reverse-chronology="FALSE"
s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" b-email-label-fields="TRUE"
b-email-subject-from-field="FALSE" s-email-subject="Submission Form"
s-date-format="%B %d, %Y" s-time-format="%I:%M:%S %p"
s-builtin-fields="HTTP_USER_AGENT Date Time"
u-confirmation-url="ShowConfirmation.htm"
s-email-address="(e-mail address removed)" startspan
--><strong>[FrontPage Save Results Component]</strong><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="6561" --><table cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse"
bordercolor="#111111" width="100%" id="AutoNumber4">

I use FP 2002.

How did you modified and upload the page?

I originally modified it locally and let FP update the page. When it
didn't work I went to it directly on the web and resaved it.
