I created a web site form in Publisher when clients try to use it they get an error message saying front page?

Question

error. How do I correct this and how do I get the information to forward to my email address?

The error message is:

FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.


Webmaster: please see the server's system log for more details

The URL is
http://www.culturaldiversityfairs.com/index_files/Page360.htm

I appreciate whatever help you folks can give. I know that Publisher is not a web page program but at the time it was the only program I knew and I really do not want to go though all the hassle pf re-creating my web site in Front page if I can avoid it. When I try to open the file in front page it will not let me get to the embedded pages

thanks

Answer 1

It would be helpful if we knew the exact text of the error, or if we had a URL that we could visit to get the error for ourselves.

My guess is there is a problem with an extension you are using, but I can't be sure without the verbatim error message.

PS: Not to state the obvious or rub salt in wounds, but Publisher is not a Web editing tool. It can make Web pages, but so can Notepad.

Answer 2

I didn't see the question you are referencing, but an obscure publisher with no web site would make my "uh, oh" antenna take note. How difficult is it to create a site? Nowadays the answer is not very. To be that obscure is to be unreliable. I would have the image of a one-man operation with the office being in the basement of that man's house. Perhaps it's not desperation so much as impatience? In other words, the writer wants his book published now without polishing it to such an extent that a reputable publishing company might be interested. Self-publishing doesn't interest him because it would cost too much and take up too much time. What does he do? He finds an obscure publisher who will take anything (at least that's my reading of the situation). As bad as it is, he might have been better off self-publishing the book. Then again, maybe not. If you've written something people would read, it makes sense to get yourself an agent who will, hopefully, do a good job of persuading a reliable publishing company to take it from there.
