I have created a form on my site www.littlestarschildcare.info publisher
2003. When you click on the submit button on the feedback page it brings up a
"page not found " Error 404. After looking at some other posts I contacted my
host site and the guy I spoke to said he couldn't help me as he had no
experience with publisher but everything looked right. Can anyone please help
me I'm getting stressed now. Thanks in advance.

Hi g7nomie.

I may be able to help as i had a similar problem a while ago, here is how i
got round it.
Firstly to work with forms you MUST upload as an HTTP file, not FTP.
1. Contact your server to make sure you have FrontPage Service Extensions
(FPSE) are installed, you should be able to do this yourself by going to your
account & going into control panel on your account & choosing to add FPSE.
2. In each form control on your form make sure all inform is sent to your
email address.
3. Once happy, Upload to web by using publish to web symbol
4. When it asks you to save, choose in my network places, if you dont see it
straight away, go through My Computer & you should see "My
Network Places".
5. it will ask you to input your web address, http//:yoursite.co.uk etc,
don't input www.
6. It will search for your server, then ask you to input you user name &
password.
I have found with forms on Publisher you can't choose the look of the reply,
it will generate this automatically, you visitors will see there input & you
will recieve a copy by email.
Basically to get a form to work you have to change the file type you upload
as i.e HTTP.
Have read of the following it will explain in further detail.

Cheers

You don't have FPSE installed/working on that site.
