Import Database Automatically

[JHSlaugh]

I import several html files that are updated weekly to a Frontpage Web site
from my MS exchange server manually, but need to do this more often.
Automatically daily would be great. Synchronized all the time even better.
At present, I pick the folder, use Import, select the file, it tells me that
there is already a file with that name and do I wish to replace, I say "yes."

While I don't expect a full answer, some direction would be great. What
would be necessary to basically synch or more automatically make files on
Frontpage mirror files on server? Is this a macro issue requiring
programming? Third-party solution? Or something much simpler?

Thanks!

Is FTP running on the Exchange Server? You could set up a job to 'push' the
files from there to your FP web site. I would recommend using a separate
folder in your web site to contain the files and set up a unique Username
and password for that folder. We do that here:
http://www.core-ct.state.ct.us/epm/ to push HTML files (the first 3 links on
that page) from PeopleSoft to our FP web site every night.
