Guestboook in frontpage 2003 not working

[Tushar]

hi
I am trying to make a guestbook using FP2003. This is what I do. Pls
correct me if I am missing any step:

1)Open FP> new> more page templates> guest book
2)Right click on the form and go to form properties--- The file name is
guestlog.htm and I also give my email address to recieve the users
comments.
3) I save the page as guestbook.htm
4)Put the guestbook.htm on the web through the server.


the problem lies here:
when i access the guestbook.htm through the web, and type in my test
comment and hit the submit button ....then it shows a "page not found
error" and in the address bar it reads
"http://www.public.asu.edu/~tchandra/--WEBBOT-SELF--" ....where
http://www.public.asu.edu/~tchandra/ is the root directory where my
guestbook.htm is.

What is the problem? Why is this error being generated. Do I need to
create the guestlog.htm file or is it generated on its own?
Pls help. i am stuck.
Thanks

how are you putting the page on the server? by what means? are you working
in an open web locally or just making a single page?

You need to File / Open Site first,
Then File / New.

Does ASU allow the use of FP extensions?
Also several of your nav links are; file not found.
I'm gonna guess you have to ftp to asu's public server?
