Help with frontpage error, report error to webmaster/dreamweaver

[missy]

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.

When working on a form page on your PC FrontPage will ALWAYS change the
form action to _derived/nortbots.htm, if you intend the extensions to
process the form. If some other page is to process the form, then in
Form Properties, use Send to Other and enter the URL for the form
handler. _derived/nortbots.htm is CORRECT for a form page on a disc
based web when the form handler is the to be the FrontPage extensions.

If you are using the extensions to process the form, then when you
Publish the form page with FrontPage to a server running the FrontPage
Extensions, the action will be automatically changed to the correct page
for the server.

Does your production server have FrontPage extensions installed? Are
you Publishing to the server using FrontPage in HTTP mode? Are you
changing the form action - if so, what are you changing it to? If you
do change the form action, then FrontPage extensions will not be used to
handle the form.

RONX!! OMG-- it worked! I have been publishing with dreamweaver, or
copying the file down with exploring, to by pass anything that dreamweaver
might have been causing.... I cannot believe- you have no idea how much time
I have spent on this, You have no idea how much you have helped me. Thank
you so much.
