I hope someone out there can give me a good answer to this question. I have a form created in Front Page which saves results to a text file as well as emails them to my email address. The form works fine when posted to an NT server; however, my host is using a Unix server. For some reason, submitting the form on the Unix server results in a "Front Page Security Violation". I asked the host to check their Front Page Server Extensions and gave them the error message I was getting. All I got was a bunch of crap about how my form was submitting to the wrong location (..._vti_bin/shtml.dll... vs. ..._vti_bin/shtml.exe...). Here's the form:
 
From bitter experience I'd never trust any HTML generated by FrontPage to run on anything other than a M$ webserver, Server Extensions or not. It seems to produce a HTML that is subtly different from industry standard HTML. I'd be willing to bet that if you could build your page using a non-M$ HMTL editor, it would work fine. Ian
