Question Is it necessary to upgrade Frontpage Server Extensions
I have an Intranet which is housed on a Windows NT Server using IIS 4. I have frontpage 2000 server extensions loaded. Some of my Web Publishers are now using Frontpage 2003 for publishing and have been receiving glichy errors, such as access denies, etc.... Is it necessary for me to upgrade frontpage server extensions on IIS system? Is there frontpage 2003 extensions, and if so, where? Will this cause a problem if I do upgrade to 2003, for those web publishers still using FP 2000?

Thanks in advance

a) Don't use FrontPage in the first place
b) The latest version of FPExt is 2002, available for Apache via CGI and IIS (built-in)
c) The only exception is VisualStudio's FPExt support, but XCopy is preferable.

a) Our publishers are more familiar with FP 2003, but what other app do you advise using for basic Web pages? (VS.net which I use on another servers Intranet?)
c) Some of us use VS.net 2003 for another Intranet on a different server(win 2000) because we do more extensive web designing using SQL Server etc... so I would not be upgrading the VS.net Server.

Hi 137_d00d. Why shouldn't you use FrontPage? I use FP, but only use the HTML view.

Frontpage 2003's HTML view is quite competant.... but I don't really recommend it if you're into seriously into web work ... Dreamweaver or VS all the way.

Of course... the best way to make sites is in code-view anyway.

Frontpage is a good tool when used properly, at least from FP2000 on, earlier versions were problematic.

One helpful frontpage site is www.frontpagewebmaster.com

Frontpage's Normal view generates code that is sometimes impossible to read. I will continue to use code-view like you say!
