Why do database results pages (.asp) have to be in the
root directory? We get "page cannot be displayed" message
when we put them in a folder in Front Page 2003. We had no
problems in Front Page 2002!

They don't have to "be" in the root directory. But it sounds like you
created them there (in the root directory) and then moved them. Relative
paths in the generated code may be broken by this. Try creating them in the
folder in which you want them to reside.

They are actually in the same folder, and they don't work.
They work only when we move the asp file to the root
folder, and change the paths of course. This is a problem
we are having since we upgraded to Front Page 2003, in
addition to myriad of other problems, none of which
existed in Front Page 2002. Is anybody else having similar
problems with 2003?
