I tried your form and got:

FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

Click the <Back> arrow to return to the previous page.


Obvious question, do you have FrontPage Server Extensions installed?

I think the upload forms needs to run on a Windows box, If your web host uses Unix or Linux, this feature may not be available.

>>>I think the upload forms needs to run on a Windows box, If your web host uses Unix or Linux, this feature may not be available.>>>

I was wrong when I said that, that but it does appear the upload component won't run on the Apache web server.

Microsoft KnowledgeBase article 288716:

FP2002: Error Message When You Try to Use File Upload

This article was previously published under Q288716

SYMPTOMS

When you try to insert a File Upload form (point to Form on the Insert menu, and then click File Upload), you are not prevented from inserting the File Upload form, and you are not warned when you publish the form.

When you browse to the page that contains the File Upload form, you receive the following string above the form:

[FrontPage File Upload Component]

If you select a file and upload it, you receive the following error message:

Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "http://server name/page name"

Also, when you author directly on a Web server, you cannot change the folder properties to allow anonymous uploads from within FrontPage.

CAUSE

Your Web is on an Apache Web server. The File Upload form does not work with an Apache Web server.

This behavior is by design. Allowing anonymous uploads could make the Web server vulnerable to attack; therefore, the anonymous uploads feature is disabled. Otherwise, a user could potentially upload a file that could run malicious code.

I have been able to use PHP to enable file uploads from a form.

A PHP script is probably the best way to do it here.

As I read the Microsoft article, there is nothing the support team can do to make the FrontPage upload feature work on an Apache web server.

If you want to use the FrontPage file upload feature, you may need to find a host not using the Apache web server, which probably means finding a Windows server based host.

As previously mentioned  by Tranzdance, you could use a php script to accomplish the task here at LunarPages. A query in the php area may bring assistance on that.
