How do I add Frontpage server extensions to my server

S

I want to use Frontpage 2003's built-in search form and drop-down menu
form. For now, I am only running the web on my hard drive. When I
view my web and submit a form, I get an error that reads "FrontPage
Run-Time Component...requires a web server that has the FrontPage
Server Extensions installed." I have tried downloading Microsoft's
updates and publishing my web and neither has fixed the problem. Do I
really need special server extensions to use the form features and how
do I add them to my server?

Thanks.

Which version of Windows are you running?

In order to use any of the FP run-time features that require the extensions, requires that you
publish to site to a server that has the FP extensions.

To use the server extensions on your own PC, you have to:

1. Install the Microsoft IIS Web server. (This comes
included with Win XP Pro and Windows 2000, but
it's not available for Win XP Home.)

2. Download and install the extensions.

3. Thereafter, always access your local Web pages
via http://127.0.0.1.

To use the server extensions on your hosted site, the
hosting service must first install them on the physical
computer. Then you'll have to either:

o Ask the host to install the extensions on your Web
server, or

o Add the extensions to your Web site yourself, using
a link that the host provides within their support
pages.
