The submit button should have link attached to it; a page the user will go to once they've hit the button. The link is case sensitive so check for that plus spelling and pathing. Also make sure that page is actually been upload.

Where should this link be going to? In the setup of the form,and the button link, it asks for the email that the submit button will deliver the form to..I'm not aware of any other link requirment..can you explain a bit more please...many thanks

OK, let me back up a little here. I'm not that familiar with forms other than I know you need some help from whoever is hosting your site.

To receive your data by e-mail, your Internet service provider must support Microsoft FrontPage 98 version 3.0 or later server extensions.

Often forms are handled by CGI programs which will handle all data forwarding, page destination, etc. Seems to me Publisher may be selling forms a little short here unless someone else can clarify it. I guess I'd start with your webhost or in the HTML forum.

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
