Submit button stops working when I update my website

| Thanks for your response. I had actually already read the articles you
mention, and had tried the steps to publish via HTTP, but my file wouldn't
publish as it kept saying "cannot find http://...". I thought I may not have
had the right http protocol, and tried a few variations, but nothing. I've
repeatedly asked my web host to provide me with the http protocol, or to
confirm it, but they just keep insisting that Publisher files cannot be
published through http, and I think they've decided to stop talking to me on
the subject! (ipowerweb, by the way - I had read good things about them and
had great service up to the point I started to have problems with submit
forms - now they just tell me to hire a web designer).
In any case, I never did publish through HTTP, but my web forms DID WORK -
although I have no idea what made them work. I do have MS FrontPage
extensions installed, but the forms aren't working when I update the website.
Any more help??
Thanks, mle

| I have to get to work, and don't have time to offer a complete answer. For
now, go to:
http://www.ipwhelp.com/view_tutorial.php?w=126
and read about how to uninstall, and then reinstall the FrontPage Server
Extensions. That should fix your forms for the short term.

| When you use ftp to upload your web files, it breaks the FP extensions.
FP/Publisher Forms MUST be Published to your web via the HTTP method or they
won't work. Also, your host has to allow the form handler to work.
