FP98: Errors w/ Ismaps, Searches After Moving Content to Server

• Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows, version 98

SYMPTOMS

If you browse a form, such as the Feedback.htm file by opening the form as a local file, and then click the Submit button, you receive the following error message:

Could not open file
C:\content\<webname>\_vti_bin/shtml.exe/feedback.htm.

CAUSE

The file is opened as a file; that is, it is not being accessed on the server. Since it is not being accessed on the server, the server extensions (shtml.exe) are not accessible to the local files and they cannot be processed. The background processing will occur only for files located on a Web were the personal Web server or the FrontPage extensions are installed.

RESOLUTION

Instead of clicking Open on the File menu and then clicking Open File in your browser, specify the URL to your Web server. For example:

http://<machinename>/<webname>/feedback.htm

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
