Is there a way, in Frontpage, to set a webpage to automatically forward or
redirect someone to another page.

Thanks,
Jeff

Yes. Add a tag like this to the <head> section:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=boingo.htm">

where 5 is the number of seconds to delay and boingo.htm
is the Web page you want to display.

BTW, don't specify a delay of 0. This interferes with
normal use of the Back button. (Visitor clicks
Back, "refresh" meta tag instantly sends visitor forward).

It's also a good idea to place a "This page has moved,
please click here," link in the <body> section. This helps
search engines and normal visitors as well.

Thanks. That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'll try that out as soon as
I get the chance.

Would this be used in lieu of setting up domain forwarding with the company
I register the domain through? They want to charge me $40 a year to forward
a new domain name to my existing domain. Would this do the same trick?

Suggest you contact your current web host and see if you can add the domain
to your current account, instead of having to forward it.

A meta refresh tag only redirects one page -- one specific URL. Domain
forwarding redirects any request to the old domain.

However, as Tom suggests, you can also just contact your domain
registration authority and have your old domain name point to your new
IP address, just as your new domain name does.
