Testing FP forms on localhost?

Is there any way - short of publishing a page to a web - to test the
processing of a FrontPage form on a local workstation?

I would like to test the validation settings, view the confirmation page,
and see what the links are after the form is submitted.

Thanks!

Sure.
On Windows 2000 Pro or XP PRO with IIS and FrontPage Extensions installed.

If you have either, install IIS and extensions. They're on the CD and available via
Add/Remove programs, Add Remove Windows components.

You can do that if you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP Pro and have
installed IIS on it (Control Panel, Add Remove Programs, Windows Programs).
Then you'd publish your site to http://localhost/<name of site>

Thank you - I never (I mean, never) thought it would be that easy!

That, plus the FP Extensions - and my forms can be tested. Thanks!
