FP2000/Database collection error

N

Noel Fryer

I have set up simple web page with a form to collect
information from visitors. The form is linked to an
Access DB set up by FP. The various fields seem to be
correctly mapped etc.

When I try to test it on the preview page I get an error
message talking about a scripting error, pointing me to a
line and saying "object expected".

I have not written the script; everything has been done by
FP itself.

I am a newcomer to all of this stuff and it is probably
something very simple, for which I apologise, but can
anyone help me please?

I don't know whether it is significant or not but I run
Win XP Pro and Office 2K.

TIA

When you say preview, are you using File Menu | Preview in browser and you have the site open at
http://localhost?

I was actually referring to previewing it in FP Preview at
the bottom of the screen. However, the same happens if I
preview it in IE from the c: drive and it won't update the
DB if I try to update the form on the web @ http://www.etc

You have to view the page via http://sitename/pagename.asp on a server that support ASP and a Access
database.

I have done as you say. When I try to update the
database with IE I get the message back "Cannot add new
record set to the database".

How do I find out why, please?

Is the database in the fpdb folder on the server?

Did you publish via FP's http mode to the server?

Have you open the live site directly in FP and then done Tools | Web Settings | Database and
verified the connections?
