FP Form trouble----submitting and e-mailing

I know you guys have all heard it before, and I don't mean to be repetative,
but I have followed microsoft instructions, followed every thread I could
find on here and other pages and I am STILL getting the :

Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this
page:http://www.helpthemgetdrugfree.com/center.htm

extentions are installed, and have been re-installed on both ends, (mine and
host) and this error still appears everytime i click the submit button

Any ideas?

You don't need the ext at your end - only on the server.

The mail transport component must be enabled to send email (it can be turned
off) - this must be done by the Host.

Are you on a Windows or Unix server?

There are some limitations for Unix hosting when using the FP ext but I
don't know if the form handler is one of them.

Am on a windows server, and my host (a very good friend of mine) says that
all is well on his end.

You have your form e-mailing to an AOL mail account - that won't work. It
must go to an account on your (helpthemgetdrugfree.com) domain.

Were the changes correctly made on the host server in the forms to email
transport in the FP server extensions?

im not exactly sure if i get what you're saying......from what i gather you
are asking me if i changed the pages directly on the host server, or if i
just made the change and FP and published? I made the changes locally, then
published using FP.

here is the code directly from the host

<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="_private/form_results.csv"
S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Email-Address="[email protected]" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
startspan B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Builtin-Fields="Date Time" U-Confirmation-Url="thankyou.htm"
S-Date-Format="%A, %B %d, %Y" S-Time-Format="%I:%M:%S %p"
B-Email-Subject-From-Field="FALSE" S-Email-Subject="New inquiry
info..........." --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP"
VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->

The host must configure the forms to email transport in the FP server
extensions.

Well guys, thanks a lot. We figured out what it was. My host was using FP
4.0 (i guess) and he upgraded to FP 5.0, which did the trick. Thanks a lot
for your help though!
