Front Page Server Extensions

[dsmbucky]

I'm totally ignorant about Front Page - but we do have a server that has a web page on it that our communications department updates.

They have created a survey using Front Page. When someone tries to answer the questions, however, it says

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

When looking at the server - it appears that the Server Extensions are indeed running. In reading some other stuff from Microsoft it appears that the way they create the web page may make a difference? Whether they are really publishing it to the web or if they are FTP'ing to the server??

Front Page 2000 is in use. The server is Windows 2000.

Any help would be great!!

Thanks!!

Yes - they need to publish the web to the server, not FTP. This should alleviate your problem. If it does not, consider uninstalling the extensions & re-installing them.

The open FrontPage and then pull up the Web page from a Drive letter. Then they save it. Is this publishing or FTP'ing??

If it is NOT publishing - what would be the steps to publish?


Sign me - truly ignorant!

So they are creating it right on the server? You need to have it in another folder & then they can publish to the server. It can be on the same machine - it does not matter. You ould go to file - publish & then enter the location at that time. If it is location - just hit browse & find the folder. Of course - you cannot publish to the same folder - so you need to make a copy of this web on another part of your hard drive. Also make sure to recalculate the hyperlinks before publishing.
