Front Page 2000 Database asp file

[Joan]

After creating my form and allowing FrontPage to create a
database, I received a message to save the form as an .asp
file.

I am adding a link to an e-mail so the reader can complete
a survey and results will be stored in the database. In
testing, the link seems to be working okay, but the file is
displaying as html. FrontPage has added some information
which says it should not be edited.

When I first tested this, the additional information
appeared at the top of the screen, followed by the form,
which could be filled in but did not submit properly.
Nothing was added to the database. Noticing that the first
line in my html file that I created the asp from, had a
soft return, I deleted it and resaved the file. After
that, only the html code appeared. I can't find a specific
reference as to why this happens other than there must be
an error in the code.

Does anyone have an idea of what I did wrong? Thanks for
your suggestions.

Joan - can you provide a link to the form page on a public web server?

I don't understand what you are asking.

Is the survey posted to a website where I can check out the page? If yes,
can you send a link?

Here's the asp link www.estateplan-hc.org/questionnaire.asp

Joan:
DNS Wiz says your site is running Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21
mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.2b and
Netcraft says: Linux Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.21 mod_ssl/2.2.8
OpenSSL/0.9.2b

That setup does not support ASP and Access - you need to be hosted on a
Windows Server.

Thanks, Kathleen, I guess I'll just have to stick with
e-mail results, as most hosts around here have switched
away from Windows because of all the viruses.

At the risk of being flamed, I'll make this offer to you here as your e-mail
address isn't discernable via this thread. I have offered FP hosting for
over 8 years. I host on a dedicated server (very limited number of sites on
the server - only my customers) and can host your e-mail as well as
SharePoint portals.

If interested, please visit www.sites2see.com and grab my e-mail address
from there (or fill out the form and I'll contact you asap).

Thanks,
Rich

Thanks for the offer, but my client subscribes directly to
the site host, which may change in a few months anyway, but
I'll look at their server information and determine if I'll
be able to use asp in the future.

Sounds good.
