I'm working in Publisher 2003, not yet published to the web. I set up a form
with SUBMIT qualities, and tried to test the form by emailing to myself. I
got an error message with a lenghthy C:// address (or file?) that was not
found. Since that point, I haven't been able to utilize the Web Preview
function, although I've even tried killing the offending page and renaming
the whole website.

Thanks for any help on how I get back to normal. The preview was working
before my mishap with the form.

A form will not work unless it is uploaded, as it is dependent upon FPSE.

As per web preview, did you reboot?

A form has to be processed on the server...not your machine. Publish the web
to your online server (with FP server extensions enabled and working...and
the host also has to thave the FP form handler enabled)...and generally the
email addr it sends to has to be within the same domain.
