Can't Install Server Extensions 2002

I am running a small intranet on a Windows 2000 server using IIS. I created a form page using Front Page 2003 with the form results going to an Access 2003 database. The form page created fine and linked to the database but when you click "submit" on the form from the web site the data does not populate the database. I believed that my problem is that the ASP page will not work because Server Extensions 2002 are not installed properly. I have installed, removed and re-installed the Server Extensions 2000 and 2002 multiple times but I cannot extend them to my web site. I tried installing Shared Point but that did not help. When I try to recalc the web site using the 2000 Server Extensions I get an error message saying that my admin program is too old. Even after installing Extensions 2002, when I go to IIS manager, and go to all tasks on the web site, there is no selection for Server Extensions 2002. The Shared Point Administrator Site has a selection for "Configure 2002 Extensions" but it shows an error message of "FHHT is not a valid virtual server" What am I doing wrong??

humm where did you create the folder for the site? under Inetpub/wwwroot and then choose new virtual server? or just created a share somewhere? also you should have an administration web site in IIS. Have you tried to open that?

The site is under inetpub/wwwroot. It is not in a separate directory. I have an administrative site and an Default Web site but I cannot install the extensions on those either. Thanks.

did a little nosing around on microsofts front page server extension 2002s FAQs. article 281532 says that the server extensions aren't really required for database stuff. Here's an excerpt
: " FrontPage Database Components
Although the FrontPage Server Extensions can help you to create and publish database-enabled Web sites, the following FrontPage database components do not require the FrontPage Server Extensions:
Database Results Wizard
Send To Database form handler
Database Interface Wizard

Article 233018 describes the method of enabling the ASP database componets/features without the server extensions. Also look at article 314440 confirmation form appears but data isn't written to the database.

hope this helps out.
