Can Frontpage be used to alter sites not created in Frontpage?

[deckard]

Hi. Can Frontpage be used to download, change then re-publish a site that
was not created in Frontpage. Thanks

Yes, Publish to going both ways and never import unless there are no FP
extensions

CAn you be specific about the program used originally?
ETC

Yes, if your host is running the proper FrontPage extensions for your version
of FP. You just open the online website in FP, then publish (not import) it
to a location on your local computer.

Ok, thanks. I haven't got a site in mind built with a certain program, I was
just wondering incase the situation ever came up

It would defintely depend on what was used to create the site, however. If
it was NetObjectsFusion, you would have to disinfect it first, and have the
HazMat team on permanent standby. For such sites, a single touch can bring
the whole thing down around your ears....

But if whomever put the site up in the first place is still occasionally
making changes with whatever software they use to publish, you could run
into trouble if you are publishing there too
