I started to create a website with Publisher. After asking a few questions
and wanting more from my site it has been suggested that I use FrontPage.
Before I go ahead and buy it can anyone tell me if it is easy to create
forms? I found navigating around Publisher very user friendly.....I am a
button girl not a code person. Your thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

As to "user friendly", this is in the eye of the beholder.

For creating Web-based forms, however, FrontPage is definitely the better
tool. Most people who try to create Web pages in Publisher eventually give up.

Yes it is easy, because you'll be using a product intended for web
development - unlike Publisher whose primary purpose it to produce
publications intended for Printing, not online.

& make your life with FP easier,,,make sure your host server has FrontPage extensions...and being on a Windows server makes it a little easier as well. IOW...find a host that understands FrontPage and has tech support you can actually communicate with!
