Once a created a new website, I asked my reputable ISP how to password
protect it. For a fee, they agreed to edit the pages accordingly; as I
understand it (and I know next to nothing about coding) that involved adding
an .asp extension to the individual pages. After completing their work, they
sent me a file including all of the revised pages. Aftercopying those pages
into a new FrontPage site, I find I cannot open them with the FrontPage
navigation ssytem; instead I get a message that says ""Server Error: There is
no file with URL "index.htm" (or whatever the file name is) in this web."

The ISP says it does not typically work with FrontPage and does not know how
to fix the problem; they suggested I check with this discussion. I would
appreciate any help any of the readers can give me. Thanks in advance.

To use or see ASP pages in FP you need to be running a local server based web or your online web in FP under the FP SE at
http://webname/
(not a disc based web at say C:\MyWeb\)
If your hosted site has the FP SE open it online in FP and File Import your pages from the host

To run a local server based web you need Windows 2000 or XP Pro (w/ IIS installed) w/ FP 2003, or PWS w/ older OS and FP

PS
if you paid for the ASP conversion the host should install the pages (and probably the Database used to control access) onto your
site in FP,
or thru their control panel and then repair the FP SE so you can open it again in FP

Stefan, what you responded is a little confusing (to me). I view asp pages on a
disk based web on my local computer all the time. It's only when a database
results region is present that you dont "see" everything -- in that case you get
everything but the actual database results showing up.

Is it possible that his problem is just the "index" page now has the wrong name?

You may be viewing the server-side code and HTML template code of ASP pages
in your disk-based web. But you don't see the HTML that they generate when
they are run using a web server and the ASP ISAPI. There can be quite a
difference. ASP requires a web server running the ASP ISAPI to be viewed.
