how to archive frontpage guestbook pages?

Guest

Hi. I'm using the Frontpage 2003 Guestbook, it's all working no problem,
however, the guestbook itself is a "wrap around file" so viewing the
guestbook means that there are 10's of messages. how do I "archive" say every
50 messages and the guestbook then has "page 1, Page 2 etc of archived
entries to view, Thanks

FP Guest book results use simple FP Include pages
(guestlog.htm usually in the _private folder)
using the webbot tag typically as
<!--webbot bot="Include" tag="BODY" u-include="_private/guestlog.htm" -->

When ever you want to "archive" one
- make a copy of your results page (guestlog.htm) and rename it as say guestlog1.htm
- edit your original results page (guestlog.htm) to remove all content between the webbot tags
- then Include the archived below the active one using say
<!--webbot bot="Include" tag="BODY" u-include="_private/guestlog.htm" -->
<p>Last X Posts</p>
<!--webbot bot="Include" tag="BODY" u-include="_private/guestlog1.htm" -->
