Re: page cannot be displayed after hitting submit on sign up form

Thanks for the help David but I found out that my host does not support front
page so I had to do it another way. I just added a page and put my email link
on it to sign up for the news letter and basic contact and deleted the sign
up form page.

The reason I asked about your webhost was that when I tested your site to
see if FrontPage server extensions were installed:
http://www.clrowan.ws/_vti_inf.html It the FPSE were installed and
functioning correctly then when you click that link, you would get a
confirmation page...you don't. I hoped to find an answer to whether your GDI
host provided FPSE support, but couldn't find anything. You need to find out
whether your host supports FPSE for web forms. Find out how to install them.
You have to have FPSE for Publisher forms to work.

How did you upload your files to your site? Did you use FTP uploading? You
must use HTTP uploading along with FPSE if you want the forms to work
correctly. You will have to learn how to upload using HTTP and that is
probably complicated by the fact you are using IE7. Ask your host for
instructions for how to use HTTP uploading with FPSE? This process is
different that FTP.

As you are getting that information, read the following references and you
should have enough information to get your form to work.

Reference: Publisher web publication forms 101:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/archive/2006/01/07/80564.aspx

Reference: Web forms:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/CH063576891033.aspx

Reference: How to publish a Publisher web in HTTP:
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80557.aspx
These instructions work with 2003 and 2007 with IE6 on XP, but might not
with IE7, and won't work with Vista.

Reference: How to trouble-shoot Publisher web upload issues :
http://msmvps.com/blogs/dbartosik/pages/80560.aspx

And one final one. Reference: Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher
Web site:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA100947601033.aspx
It is written for Pub 2007, but if you are using IE7 instead of IE6, then
the directions for using Vista also would apply to Pub 2003. FTP and HTTP
uploading has changed with the introduction of IE7 and Vista.

There are no good instructions for how to use HTTP uploading with
Vista...and probably IE7. I can talk about this more if you get to this
point.

Before you get too overwhelmed with this all, just find out if your host
even has FPSE. If they don't then the rest of it is moot.

I made my own web site and the last page is a sign up form for a news
letter.
When you hit the submit botton the next page is the page cannot be
displayed
message. And also the form doesnt go to my email like I have it set
to
do.
I
tried to add a thank you page with a link that takes you back to my
home
page
and put it after the sign up form page to see if that works but
still
the
same thing happened. I am using microsoft publisher 2003. How can I
fix
this?
