Frontpage bots not working on IIS 6
Hi,

I just installed Win2K3 server with IIS 6. Just o test I put a very basic
html form with 1 textbox and submit/reset button in to the default web. And
set it to email to an account and write the data in to a text file. I
configured the mail server and other settings for this website for frontpage
extensions.

What happens is; When I submit the form the page submits but nothing
happens. The file gets created but no data in it.

To test I created another website with same parameters and the form works
perfectly fine. And it is a very simple form anyway.

The file name is test.htm, and form header is as below:
<form method="POST" action="test.htm" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="_private/form_results.csv"
S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE"
S-Email-Address="email@address.com" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE"
startspan --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot
bot="SaveResults" i-checksum="43374" endspan -->

and the rest is the html for submit button and textbox.

I checked the permissions and everything and all seems good. And I don't
receive an error message anyway.

Oh btw I create and save the form with FP2003.

So what could be the problem?

Any help appreciated

thanks
Gorik
