FP 2003 / win xp /
URL of form is : http://www.icingpictures.co.uk/online_order_form.htm

Just set up a form and am trying to get it to work - got the following error
message...
Form Validation Error

Please correct the information you provided by following these steps, then
submit the information again:

* A FrontPage File Upload component is incorrectly configured. Please
set the MIME encoding type for the form to be multipart/form-data.

Return to the form.

I do not usually have problem spublishing - server does have frontpagr
extensions - i have tried to look in the HTML code for the mime heading in
order to make the change but cannot find it - could you send me in the right
directionin order to try and fix this?
Thank you for taking a look at my question.

<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">

The FileUpload webbot should also include the folder (S-Destination) the upload is to be saved to:
