I have published my website with Publisher 2003 and using an http site.  I
have a webform that confirms information, but I'm getting boxes at top and
bottom vs. the "form confirmation" and "return to form" words.  I've followe
d
all instructions and I'm trying to get this to work using ipowerweb as my
host.  My sister-in-law used Publisher 2002 and followed your directions and
it works for her.  Can you help??  This is really frustrating!

If you are sure you followed all form FAQ's on
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30 and properly configured
the submit button properties on the form, then post the form URL for review.

Hi, David ~

Yes, I followed the directions to the letter.  The website is
www.advancedparentingconcepts.com

You'd want the "class registration" page

thanks,
Leah

Just did a test submit.
Looks to me like the form itself is fully functional and the confirmation
page is technically functional.
it's just that the Frontpage header and footer text is not rendered
properly.
which isn't is really a "problem" it just looks bad.
so this is a FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE) issue not Publisher.
so... I recommend as a first course of action you put in a order with the
host to reinstall FPSE.
the host support should know that FPSE are easily corrupted, usually from
the user making ftp connections instead of http, and so they should be used
to reinstall requests.
fwiw if they give you any crap my web host recommendation is listed on
www.davidbartosik.com .
if the reinstall fails to clear it up then I can only refer you to post the
url of the form page to the Frontpage forum at
microsoft.public.frontpage.client and ask in that forum what could cause
this issue.

Thank you, David.  I'll start with Ipowerweb and then go on from there.  I
appreciate your advice.

Hi, again...

David, I tried to find the spot for Frontpage that you recommended,
"microsoft.public.frontpage.client " and I'm having trouble.  Could you
provide the specific URL?  I would like to contact them to see if they can
help.  Thank you,
Leah

Thank you!  I have posted a question and hope to get this resolved.

You do great work - much more knowledgeable than the ISP support guys.

ok...now I'm frustrated.  Here is what the FP forum suggested (mind you that
I've spent a lot of money and time with Publisher 2003):  "Pub is for print,
FP is for Webs. Although Pub will generate html "pages" it doesn't create a
Web, and more importantly it does a crummy job of generating html...really
messy. The time you'd have to clean up Pub pages and making it into a web
would be better spent learning how to use the right tool for the job...FP.

Basically...start over, use FP to create a Web...use your Pub creation as a
design guide...you can still use any images from pub...just Import them into
FP first. It really shouldn't take too long to do - once  you've learned the
basics AND get used to the fact that you're not working towards a paper
format."

I would really prefer not to duplicate the process and spend even more money
(not to mention that I think that FP is not user friendly and rather
embarassingly primitive-looking)...any thoughts?  I'm beyond frustrated...

true and valid points.

again opinion based, and easier said then done. I've been there done that.

be patient, see if it gets other responses.
don't take opinions personally.
did the host reinstall the FPSE and did you test again?
