The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a Microsoft FrontPage 2000 version of this article, see Q205655.

For a Microsoft FrontPage 97 and earlier version of this article, see Q147443.

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 that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
