Everything in the _exported folder needs to be uploaded to your server. From what I can tell, that has not happened here. Many of the files are missing. This is the identical process you took with the Classic version except there are more files now.

Hi Keith,

OK, so you're using VSD. This requires a bit of hard work to be honest (compared to using a FTP client such as http://www.coffeecup.com/free-ftp/ which is completely free!)

In VSD, you must create the correct folder/file structure manually. So, look at your exported folder and exactly create the very same structure in VSD Add files menu. Then populate the right folders with the right files to exactly mirror your exported folder. The .php file needs to be in{root}.

VSD or the resulting site does not care if you do it this way or use FTP. So, by far the easiest way is to use an FTP client. That way you can simply drag the entire contents of the exported folder from WFB to the same directory as your html page with the form. The FTP client will create the correct structure automatically that way.

I have put a form up in this way for you to see: http://www.fixtronix.ie/test

Attached are images of the directories with the files contained. Is this all the files that should be in their respective directories? Is the structure correct?

Looking at the screenshots, you are doing it wrong. You need to upload all items in the _exported folder. In that folder, there is another folder. Upload that and not the CONTENTS of that.

You also placed the _exported folder in your website project. Again, you place the CONTENTS of this folder in there and not the folder itself.

Also are they actually uploaded to your site. I did searches trying url's with the _exported on the end thinking you left it that way but they don't even appear to be on your server.:)

Edit: It appears that you got it.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You must do this all inside VSD using the menu: Edit->Add Files.
Otherwise the files will not be uploaded when you publish

See attached screenshot. As I said, it's tedious... The little + symbols beside the four folders at bottom expand these to multiple sub-folders. You need to create the folder tree exactly like that in the exported results folder.

You also need to populate each folder as you create it, otherwise, VSD dumps empty folders if you press OK before actually putting files into them.

It's so much easier to use an FTP client though :)

Kieth if you uploaded all the form files there is one file included that is a html file with the same name as the form. If you run this it will display your form and check out if all the files are present. You can preview the form on your system if you copy the same files structure to the preview folder

C:\Documents and Settings[Your_Name]\Local Settings\Temp\vsd_tmpdir then when you preview you should see your form. see how the form folder is arranged. Copy this online.
