Form created in Microsoft Frontpage?

Question

Hello,
I am attempting to fix a form using Dreamweaver.  The form is located at the top-right corner of http://www.imagecandyusa.com
The code for the form is as follows:
<form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.exe/index.htm" onSubmit="" name="IC_home_page" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="_private/form_results.csv" S-Format="TEXT/CSV" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" startspan B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="[email protected]" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Email-Subject-From-Field="FALSE" S-Email-Subject="SEND ME A QUOTE" S-Builtin-Fields="REMOTE_NAME REMOTE_USER HTTP_USER_AGENT Date Time" U-Confirmation-Url="confirm.htm" S-Date-Format="%A, %B %d, %Y" S-Time-Format="%I:%M:%S %p" --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" -->
The form is returning a 404 Error File Not Found:
http://imagecandyusa.com/_vti_bin/shtml.exe/index.htm
Although I checked with the webhost and the filepath above does exist, I believe there may be an error somewhere in the code. 
Can anyone identify what software was used to create this form or how I may resolve this issue?
Sincerely,

My web host supports FrontPage. I don't know why, but they say theyhave a lot of people using it. FrontPage was originally created by the Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies, Incorporated, which is why the files and directories for FrontPage have vti in them.
Frankly, if they were going to support something right out of the starting gate, I think they should support WordPress, which is actually being developed, rather than FrontPage.
Where FrontPage extensions are in place on a server and are properly configured to handle email, FrontPage will provide you the ability to specify an email address to send the form data to as a property of the form. The program then generates the instructions needed to utilize the Webbot in the FrontPage Extensions on the server to send out your email.
This proprietary system cannot be accessed by Dreamweaver. Instead, Dreamweaver can help you create a script in a language hosted on your server, like php or ASP or ColdFusion that will do the "heavy lifting" of processing the result of the form and sending an email in response.
If the rest of your website was built using FrontPage, It's advisable to rebuild it in Dreamweaver. To do this, you'll need an understanding of HTML and CSS. Then, for your form, you would build that in Dreamweaver and use the scripting language available on your server. Since php is free and open source, most servers have that.
Here is a link for a tutorial for creating a contact form in HTML4.01 and CSS3, where you can download the script that runs in the background.
