1. FP2000 extensions do support features/functions in FP98 that require extensions, so there is no
reason not to take advantage of them.
2. To use ASP and Access you site must be hosted on Windows IIS web server. Since you are using
FP98, you will need to do a lot of the ASP coding manually, and if you want to place the ASP content
in a folder, it would need to be a subweb, and you host will have to set up the correct permissions,
since FP98 can not do this for you, which is not the case with FP2000 and up, which can set the
correct permissions.
