Change??? You guys are killing me. [img]<>/frown.gif[/img] [img]<>/smile.gif[/img]

Well, since I really haven't learned much yet about Front Page, learning a complete new system shouldn't be much worse.

Looks like I'll definitely be at your seminar Peter!

There is another way to publish in Front Page other than using the Publish button.

After you have made your changes to the selected page, go to the folders view (looks like Window Explorer). Instead of publishing the way you describe (which compares what you have on the hard drive to what is on the Internet and then makes the additions, deletions or corrections)-

1. simply right click on the file name. A list of options will open.

2. One of those on the list is PUBLISH SELECTED FILES. Click on that.

3. A dialog box will open. I have FRONT PAGE OR SHAREPOINT SERVICES checked.

4. Then where it says REMOTE WEB SITE LOCATION, put your Internet address.

5. Click OK. Now only the file/s you have selected is published.

This is faster way to publish esp. if your web page is getting large.

Why is Front Page dead and why are you taking the support systems off the server. It seems that a majority of the AACA region and chapter web sites have been created by this program won't that create problems for all these webmasters out there? Just curious?

You can get a great tutorial on Dreamweaver at http://howtogurus.com/ Was very informative & got me up & running pretty quick.

Peter,
I guess a bunch of us webmasters will be moving to Tuscon so you can support us with the new editor. I hope you have enough room for all of us at your house. I am looking forward to your seminar at Philly.

Durant28,

"Why is Frontpage being dead?" You'll have to ask Microsoft.

Frontpage built websites will continue to work, even on the new server, but it's to the webmaster's advantage to start considering alternatives. Here's why -- although Frontpage may work on your existing computer there is no guarantee it will work on future Windows machines. Server support for Frontpage websites is dead, and as server technology grows it will outgrow Frontpage.

Keep in mind I suggested the use of frontpage in 1997! Frontpage has been a great product for 11-12 years but it's time to consider moving on to a new product.

As to those that want to live in Tucson to get product support - BRING IT ON! [img]<>/smile.gif[/img]

And Microsoft is talking about I believe it is called "Windows 7" coming out the end of this year or early next year and that will be replacing Windows Vista. I do know the new version is going through testing right now.

Thanks Pete
I just wanted to know if it would still work on the AACA server. We all know that Microsoft has to change things every couple of years so they can continue to get more money from us. I always like the saying "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Besides the other programs I see out there to create web sites are very expensive. Do you know of any other good web site creation software that is reasonable?

I'm glad there was a lot of response on this. Next question is: Is anyone using Microsoft Expression Studio ? If so, what do you think of it and what version are you using?.. It appears to be cheaper than probably the Adobe Dreamweaver is around $200, academic versions are less (I'm too old to be a student!).......
