hi all,

I have a form at: http://www.book-trade.co.uk/textbooks/exeter-uni/place-ad3.asp that is meant to send form results to an MS Access database. Unfortunately, when information is filled in, and the'submit' button pressed, a This page cannot be displayed message appears. Upon investigation, when I press submit, it tries to take me to a page called "--WEBBOT-SELF-- ". The code for the from is:

<FORM language=JavaScript action=--WEBBOT-SELF--
method=post><INPUT type=hidden value=1
name=VTI-GROUP>

I created the form in Frontpage. The inofrmation on the database connection, confirmation pages etc is included elsewhere in the page, but it is the form code that I am most concerned about.

Is this the right code that should have been created? if not, please could someone post the form code that should be here.

Thanks

you need to change the form action to your process page. action="yourpage.asp" you need that in the form tag. Also how are you connection to your db can you post the connection string?
