Ok, this thing has been driving me absolutely crazy.. someone please please please help!
Now i know this thing does work as i have had it working previously, but when you press submit on this form it doesn't do anything... why?!?!

Am seriously fed up with playing around with this and if anyone could help to explain where i am going wrong it would be massively appreciated!

<Sorry, no personal URLs. See TOS [webmasterworld.com]>

all it is doing is sending the form results to an email address. i have had it working once but for some reason it has jjust stopped working

Please HELP for the sake of my sanity!

Many Thanks

First, you need to edit your post and remove the URL.

How are you publishing the forms, FTP or FrontPage publish?

You need to give us a little more information. Did you create a confirmation page?

<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="me@myaddress.com" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Builtin-Fields U-Confirmation-Url="www.myaddress.com/followup.htm" --><p>&nbsp;

Is this any use?

Uploading files via ftp works fine for plain-vanilla HTML pages, but unless I'm mistaken, forms need to be published with FrontPage.

forms need to be published with FrontPage

Yes, they do need to be "published" with FP.

In fact it is recommended to never ftp to your site if you have FP extensions (though I have found that ftp-ing databases - and files that don't use any FP components like forms/substitutions etc - generally works out OK)
