Using FP Enquiry form on asp page

[Teriel9]

I had some FP generated enquiry forms on some .asp pages, these would not
send a message nor advise that it had not worked.
Using exactly the same settings on an .html page it did work.
Is this normal and do .asp pages have a means of operating an "Enquiry form"
Thanks

Yes, this is normal. Forms that are to be process via the FP extensions must be on page that has
either a htm or html extension to work.

Forms that use the FrontPAge extensions for processing the form data
will not work on .asp pages.
Conversely, forms on .asp pages need asp processing scripts (usually,
but not always, written in vbScript) to handle the data.
A .asp page always goes through an asp interpreter on the server, and
cannot be processed by the FP extensions.

oddly enough, while what Thomas and Ronx told you is correct, EXCEPT:
unbelievably enough if you do a server side include of the HTML file
containing the form into an .asp page it will work.
this is even true for a .php page.
