FrontPage error on form that sends email

L

L Peaker

I have a weired issue. I have a form that 6 textboxes 5 which are required 1
is not. The form captures the user data and sends it to me by email. The form
can be viewed at www.reef-log.com/product_activation.htm

This form sends an email when the send request button is pressed to
(e-mail address removed).

This form works on the machine that I develop my website on, but it will not
work on any other machine I test it on it simply says FrontPage Error User
please report details to this sites webmaster.

This form uses tables to align the text labels and textboxes but this should
not make a difference surely.

I use FP 2003 SP2

Any help with this is appriciated

Thanks

You are using absolute addresses in instead of relative addresses in the form:

Example:
This:
form method="POST" action=http://69.6.236.216/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/product_activation.htm

Should be form method="POST" action=_vti_bin/shtml.exe/product_activation.htm

Open FrontPage, open your web, open the form page, and right click the form and select Form
Properties.

Change the path to the confirmation page by just browsing to and selecting the file.

As the line I posted, in code view delete http://69.6.236.216/ and then save the page.

Make sure _vti_bin/shtml.exe/product_activation.htm
starts with the underscore _
