David, Thank You
I will try to state this a little better. By upgrading from 2000 to 2003,
there was a total rebuild of the server, then my saved default website was
brought back in with frontpage 2003 as it was saved on an XP client for
storage durring the rebuild. We reformated durring the 2003 install. I did
try the IUSR_machine name on all folders involved on the server and site.
Unfortunatly I get the same problem. I checked the site and it does have
allow IUSR_machine name as the default anonomus user, I have anonomus user
turned on in server extensions 2002.
My pearl scripts work on other pages, my html works as well, but the only
instance that I have problems is web forms made in frontpage 2003 that used
to work on the 2000 server. I have even rebuilt a form to try it. Same
error. My forms are set to email, and I do have a valid smtp account setup
in frontpage server extensions.
It will promt a remote desktop username and password dialog box to the
machine name of the IIS server. It will only except a user name and password
of a domain admin. I don't want the dialog box at all, because our
Coorperate Compliance Officer needs to have confidentiality for her complaint
form online, and we are planning to role out several new forms. I also am
not getting tech work-orders as efficiently now because we use an web form
for that as well that emails us the complaint information.
