New to Form Stumped

I am trying to get a hit counter to work and a form to submit to a database
but I have noticed that the server extensions were not installed. I am using
FB2003 but I can only find FB2002 extensions and I am also using windows
2003. I tried and installed the FB2002 Extensions but the hit counter will
still only show a red X image. Any ideas.

F"P" 2002 extensions are the latest version.

Where did you "install" the extensions.??
If in IIS, did you "extend" your web after you installed the extensions??

You can get a hit counter by registring in one of many webs that offer this
service. Also, They usually provide surveys and forms for your web.

You can not use any of the FP2002 available on the MS site under Windows 2003, you can only use the
extensions that included on the Windows 2003 CD, which should have installed automatically.

Also you must open and work on the web via http in FP and use File Menu | Preview in browser via
http to see any of the FP components.

I have extended the web and they are installed in IIS but still the same
problem on both a form and hit counter. When i right click on a web it
states they are installed. Any ideas...

The extensions were not installed, where do I find the extensions on the
Windows 2003 CD Rom.

I have uninstalled the FB2002 Extensions and then installed from add/remove
programs then I made sure that ASP was set to allowed and now I get this
error:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish
this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.

Did you allow FrontPage extensions, and configure the extensions on
the website?
Use Administration Tools->Microsoft SharePoint Administration from
the Start button to configure the FP extensions.
For Windows 2003, you also have to install Index Service, and allow
Index Service in the IIS extensions. Then create a catalogue for the
website.

The FrontPage extensions components do not use ASP.

I have created a sample asp script and it works fine. The indexing service
is installed. How does one create a catalogue? The counter has an X and the
system will not post to the database. Any ideas to try.

Did you configure the extensions?
Did you allow Index Service in the IIS MMC extensions folder?

To create a catalogue (there will be better help in an Index Service
newsgroup):
Create a folder to store the catalogue, then use
Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Services and Applications
Right click on Indexing Service and choose New->Catalog
Name the catalog and browse to its location.
Click OK
Highlight the new catalog and click the properties button on the
toolbar.
On the tracking Tab, choose the webserver the catalog is to index.
Click OK
Open the Directories folder, right click in the blank space and choose
New
Add the file path to the folder your web site resides in, and select
the include radio.
You can also exclude folders within the site from the same dialogue.

Yup, I have made sure we configured the extensions and allowed the indexing
service, still no hit counter and I cannot post information from a form to an
access database. There are no errors but does not post data to the database.
