    Firstly, I'm a newbie and my html is very basic. I've scoured your forum but still not sure.

    I've raised a form, pulled it up and tested, all OK. I then copy/paste the html into my site (Dreamweaver) dowloaded to my server and when I submit I get a 404 error.

    I done the download from cpanel Fantastico and my host advised that all I had to do was copy/paste the html into my site and it would work. Obviously that isn't the case.

    Any help would be appreciated and if you could try and be not too tech.

    I did move via file manager the file phpformgen.... into my public_html file but that didn't work.

    Cheers

      The default form uses some graphics:
      bc_new.gif
      button.jpg
      nav_m.gif
      tile_back.gif
      tile_sub.gif
      The form submits the data to the file:
      process.php
      The process.php file calls the file:
      global.inc.php

      This is the minimum set of files that all need to be in the same folder as the form1.html file or in the case where you have added the form to existing html, all files need to be in the same folder as this html file. 
      If you intend to use the admin features you must also copy the entire admin folder to the same level as the form html. 

      This is very simple and you should be able to fix it with minimal effort.
