If the FP Extensions are installed then recreate the form on that page,
publish it and see if it works. What you might want to do, instead of
changing your page right now, is to create a new page, ex: Test.htm, that
ONLY has a form on it with a few fields and then publish that to test and
see if the extensions are working. If they are then recreate the form on
the other page.

condosofct is now configured as a subsite under my main site which has FP
ext
installed. does that help/matter?

According to the error at http://www.condosofct.com/_vti_inf.html
Your host does NOT have the FP Server Extension installed - required
(or they are broken and require repair by the host)

FP must add the code, not you, this requires that you let FP create the form.

No.
Go to the page you want your form on (you may want to create a test page)
put your cursor where you want the form.
Insert | Form
Hit Enter a couple of times to give you room above the Submit button to
place your other labels and fields...and go from there.

When your done, Save and Publish to your subsite via the http:// method.

Rob, David...got it will do.....

I'll post later after I work it out. I have been on hold with godaddy
forever on this and they don't seem to know what happened. They think my
forms won't work at all due to the subsite format. I am really just baffled
and I think I missed something really easy.

Would it help to know I copied and pasted the website from its own folder
into a new folder under my main site? I think that maybe there is a hidden
file/folder....that may have been missed??

If the FP Extensions are installed then recreate the form on that page,
publish it and see if it works. What you might want to do, instead of
changing your page right now, is to create a new page, ex: Test.htm, that
ONLY has a form on it with a few fields and then publish that to test and
see if the extensions are working. If they are then recreate the form on
the other page.

Yes, copy and paste could have cause a problem. The better way would have
been to import the files or publish the old site to your Hard Drive, open it
locally and then publish it back to the new site.
