Server extensions break after publishing

My website provider (olm.net) has FrontPage Extensions (2002) running on an
Apache web server. I think they are using Linix as the OS, but that is a
guess. I am trying to develop a form that appends entered data information
to another page and also sends an email to a member of our organization. The
forms work as well as they are developed when the FP extensions are running
and available. The URL of the form is:

http://www.viennastars.com/Tournaments/Cherry_Blossom/cbt_form.htm

The development environment is FP 2000 on my Windows Me (blush) system. I
don't have any personal webserver installed on my PC, so I am attempting to
use the actual website to develop these forms. The problem that I am having
is EVERYTIME I publish to the website, the FrontPage extensions stop
working. I have to contact OLM's helpdesk and have them re-install the
extensions again. Things will work until I republish again. I am using FTP
to publish to the site since the extensions rarely seem to work and I can
rely on FTP.

Any ideas???

TIA,

If you are working on the actual live web site, there is nothing to publish.
You are already there. All you do is save the page(s).

I think I mis-lead you. I develop on my PC, but I have no way of testing the
forms and extensions without using OLM's website.

Thanks, I'll attempt to follow your suggestion. BTW, why does ftp break the
extensions?

Publishing using ftp, will either corrupt or
overwrite the extensions folders.
Additionally, when publishing via ftp,
FrontPage does not publish all of the files
required to run the features because selecting
FTP forces FrontPage to assume the extensions are not
installed, therefore the files are not published.

Thanks Steve, that was it.
