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.

Back to the top

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
