What does this mean "Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions"?

[danielh68]

Hi.

Our company has a form on it's site created in FrontPage. I don't have any Frontpage experience, all Dreamweaver (the previous webguy work in Frontpage). Anyhow a sales rep wanted a change to the contract (form). To play it safe, I backedup the form directory from the server to a disc. Then I made the change to the form using notepad. It was a minor text change.

Well, I uploaded and got an error. So, I backtracked and re-uploaded the original files I had saved, thinking it would resume to the old form. Unfortunately, I got this:Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "

http://www.optistreams.com/program-motosat/cust-order.htm"

I then launched Frontpage and learned that you have to publish the page to use the extensions. So I did that, still I received the same error.

I called my provider and they are currently looking into it, but I don't expect much.

I'm stressed, because the orginals won't work. Please, any suggestions?

Sounds like your provider needs to re-install Front Page Extensions on their server for you. Rob
Just my $.02.
