Re: WEBBOT ERROR   

To process a form on a web page you must Publish the page to a web 
server.  In your case, you must publish page to a web server running 
FrontPage extensions since the form uses the extensions to process the 
form data.  Windows Vista Basic does not support a web server that also 
supports FrontPage extensions.

I could not find a page with a form at http://goldbloc.com, but the site 
is not running the FrontPage extensions so the form would not work 
anyway.  If the host supports the extensions then they must be 
installed, other wise you will have to write or find server side scripts 
(asp, asp.NET, PHP etc.) to process the form data.

Be aware that Publisher makes extensive use of VML text boxes for 
layout.  The problem here is that only Internet Explorer running on 
Windows can render VML, other browsers (about 20 - 30% of your potential 
customers) and operating systems will see poor quality pictures of your 
text, not the text itself - and a picture of a hyperlink will not work.  
Publisher did not get its reputation for being the worst ever web page 
editing tool for nothing.  You should use the correct tool for the job 
in hand - Publisher for printed work, FrontPage (or Expression Web, or 
other editor designed for web pages of your choice).
