- Are there any precautions I should be aware of when using FrontPage?
If
you choose to publish using FrontPage, we recommend that you do not use
any other program to transfer files to your website via FTP. (eg.
WSFTP, ..etc.). It is possible for your FrontPage extensions to become
corrupt, which may affect the functionality of your website. In these
cases, you may need to reinstall FrontPage extensions and reupload your
website.
- I see some directories/files in my account that look like _vti_*. I never uploaded them. Can I delete them?
When
you install FrontPage extensions, some new directories/files are
installed in your account. Do not delete the _vti_* files. Deleting
these directories/files will break your site.
- My Web Bots are not working. What do I do?
This happens sometimes when moving sites from one computer to another. Try to delete and recreate the bots on our servers.

The most probable cause is a connectivity problem with your ISP.

You can get more information on FrontPage from the Microsoft Website.
- My website was created using FrontPage Express or Web Publishing Wizard and it doesn't work. What's wrong?
FrontPage
2002 Extensions does not work with FrontPage Express or Web Publishing
Wizard. Microsoft has dropped support for both FrontPage Express and
Web Publishing Wizard. Therefore, you will have to upgrade to FrontPage
2002.
