Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page

I'm getting this message when I use a .asp page as a confirmation page in a
form. The server has 2002 FrontPage Server Extensions installed and I'm
using FP 2003 to develop the website.

Does the error indicate that the server doesn't support asp or does it mean
that I've made a coding error. This is my first attempt at validating forms
using asp.

If you are using the FP Form Handler, then you can not use any server-side script on the page being
processed by the FP extensions or have any other file extension other then .htm or .html

Tom:

I'm trying to add a simple form that will require a client to enter their
Name and a Password and then display a page (particular to that client) if
the Name and Password are correct. I plan to store Names and Passwords in a
text file located in the _private folder on the server.

The way I'm trying to do this using ASP and have the asp script read the
text file located in the form confirmation page saved as an .asp file.

I'm new to this and I am wondering if I'm on the right track.

You will have to process the form, etc all with a custom ASP/VBScript, you can not use the FP Form
Handler.

That's the plan. Once the FP Form Handler finds the Name and Password are
in the right format (the Name has to be text, the Password has to be 4
characters, etc.), I plan to then execute a custom asp script that will
compare the Name and Password entered by the client to Names and Passwords
stored in the text file stored on the server.

I've tried to do this by inserting some asp script on the form confirmation
page specified by the Form Handler but that is where the problem is. It
seems like the Form Handler has to be an htm file and cannot be a asp file.

I'm not sure what to do next.

Your entire process needs to be ASP/VBScript and not use the FP Form Handler/Component other then
just creating the form with FP.
