I understand the difference in a subdomain. I would now describe my web
directory that is built with multiple Pub files as each subfolder contains a
subweb or child web. Thanks again.

oh and subwebs are just a microsoft thing and not the same as a subdomain.

Ok. I am just trying to get and use the correct terminology. Thanks.

folder is just a folder
subweb is an entity unto itself (a child web)

Rob,

I sure am not an expert with working with FPSE, but I upload the
majority of my Publisher site with FTP. However, I created one
subfolder on my host where I have uploaded a Publisher built form for
testing purposes, after enabling FPSE on my host. This page was created
with a different Publisher file. Since then I have modified my main
site and many subfolders via FTP uploading, and also updated the test
folder containing the form using HTTP uploading. You can use both FTP
uploading to some subfolders and HTTP uploading to other subfolders
without corrupting the FPSE. You just can't switch from HTTP to FTP and
then back and expect the FPSE to work correctly, from what I
understand. I am not advocating this to anybody...just saying that it
can be done.

What is the difference between a subweb and a subfolder?

The forms should work if you publish via http:// method (not ftp) and
if the host has the form handler allowed and configured correctly.
As mentioned before your email response addr in the form is not
correct so it won't work as it is, just in case you have tried.
And, if you form and other stuff you are doing are indeed in a subweb
(not just a sub folder) the fpse has to be enabled on the subweb as
well.

Sorry. I guess I didn't explain things well enough. I don't &
wouldn't do
anything with the main site. As I said, I'm just having some fun
doing some
"extra" pages. What about compatibility though? I f I publish my form
via
http & enable the Frontpage extensions, should it be compatible with
the
various browsers? If not, what program might you suggest for an
amateur?

One thing would be if you want your original web designer to make
changes,
the Publisher generated "html" is non standard stuff and impossible
to work
with.
If you're just publishing your stuff to a subweb and leaving the
original
site alone you would be ok as long as you stay within the subweb
with
yours.
Also, be aware that if you publish via FTP it will break the FPSE
and your
forms will never work.

I've had no problems with the pages I've added with Publisher, but
would
you
tell me what the problems might be? Yes, we have back-ups .

I think you're asking for problems publishing from Publisher to a
website
that was designed/created in something else that appears to be a
real web
editor (which Publisher is not).

Your email address in that form is incorrect.
You have to Publish via http:// method for forms to work, and
your host
has
to allow the FP form process to work.

Again, I don't recommend over publishing from Publisher to what I
assume
you
paid for website. Your designer has a backup I hope?

My website/store was built by professionals, but I'm having fun
doing
some
"add-on pages" in Pub/03. My links, newsletter, & gallery pages
work
fine
in
IE, Firefox & Safari. I'm trying to add a web form as a second
page on
my
newsletter. It displays & functions in IE, displays but is not
functional
in
FF, & won't display at all in Safari. Should I just use another
program
for
this, (& if so suggestions would be appreciated), or am I doing
something
wrong? Site is meanmaxine.com, & if you want to see the test
form, go
to
"to
remove your name, click here" link on the newsletter page.
