Hi There - I have a form made using front page. It was working fine, then all of the sudden after submitting the form, it requested a login and password.

Who is being asked for a password? A user, you?

Bit more info . . . are you using a firewall?
 
Anyone submitting the form on the internet was getting the prompt for the login and password. It was like network authentication was suddenly being required. The hosting company re-installed the front page extensions and rebooted the server and the form started working i.e. not requiring a login and password. There was another form on the same site, that wasn't working so I re-calculated the hyperlinks using frontpage and that started working again.

Hi Beth,

A URL for the form page might be helpful. This way we can see the problem as it happens.

generally, I see this as a result of missing or corrupt extensions. It can also happen as a result of using a confirmation page URL cantained in a _private folder.

Hope I have been of some help,
Micheal
