Correct in that the error messages can be ignored in the disc based web,
- but the form Will not work until the site is published using http method (not ftp) to an online hosted site running the FP Server
Extensions and w/ Email Transport enabled by the host

| Hi again -
| I've had that message before as well. My sense is that you can disregard
| that message, especially if you are doing a disk-based web ( ie, on your
| local hard drive). I'm not an expert here, but I think that issue goes away
| once you publish your web to the server - there the background conditions
| necessary to process the form to an email address fall into place.
| One thing you should know is that your Frontpage form will work best if
| sent to your website-based email address. Actually it may not work otherwise
| (though I get one form to be sent successfully to an AOL address for 2
| years). Try just leaving the email address in and test it after you publish
| your site. I hope I've helped. ...Frank
