I created a form with FrontPage. Why can't I see the results?

Forms you create with FrontPage will not work the same way as Email Forms. Results and data will not automatically be sent to a specified email address. You will need to configure your form to publish the results to a page on your web site or (for advanced users only) send them to an email address you specify.

To configure your FrontPage form:

  1. Create a page in FrontPage and use the FrontPage Form Wizard to create a form.
  2. Right-click on the form and select "Form Properties."
  3. Select "Send to."
  4. In the "File Name:" field, enter the name of the page to which you want the form results published (such as formresults.htm).
  5. Click "OK," then "Save," and publish your form.

Now, when a visitor fills out the form, it will automatically save the results to the page you specified (http://yourdomain.com/formresults.htm), where you can review them.

Advanced users can also modify the FrontPage form code to have the results sent to an email address.

Please note: The steps below represent a workaround that will require advanced HTML, for which Yahoo! does not provide assistance. We do not guarantee that this solution will work with your form, but some users have found this workaround helpful. For a simpler solution, we recommend trying our easy-to-use Email Forms add-on.

To modify your FrontPage form, you will need to edit the HTML within FrontPage:

  1. Make sure you're signed in to your Web Hosting Control Panel.
  2. On the Create & Update tab, click "Add-Ons," then "Email Forms."
  3. Under "Step 1," copy the code provided.
  4. In the HTML of the page that contains the form, locate the following code:
    <form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
    <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="......../_private/form_results.csv" S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" -->
  5. Replace this code with the code you copied from the Email Forms page.

Your form results will be sent to the alternate email address you specified in on the Yahoo! Account Information page.

For detailed FrontPage support and troubleshooting, please contact Microsoft directly, as issues you encounter may be related to known bugs in the software. For further assistance, search the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
