a sad farewell to FrontPage

[ethorne003]

I understand that FrontPage is all but history with the advent of
Expression Web. But I hate to see FP go, since it has served my
website <campfanninrollofhonor.com> well for a long time -- that is,
'til recently. Always I was able to open a file in my site and edit it
with FrontPage, then deposit the revised file back onto the Web for
universal viewing. Now when I attempt to open a file, I get this
message: "There was an error when trying to open FrontPage (Open as
HTML). The command: blank failed." How do I fix that problem?

Also my File button no longer offers a "Edit with Microsoft FrontPage"
option. How do I get that option back?

What happens when you try to open your web the normal way;
Open FP
File | Open Web/Site
enter your local copy address or your remote server address

?

Not necessary to reinstall FrontPage.
Simply clear the temporary internet and history files.

Go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm
and download a copy of FPCleaner.
Run the functions that clear the Hidden *.web files and the Hidden Temporary files.

See if it helps



To restore the edit with option, clear the temporary internet and history files.

Also sounds like your thinking Frontpage will kinda "Expire",
if it works for you - as it does for many - you don't HAVE to
update and buy the replacement - just carry on using it,
it isnt going to up'n'expire one day - and cease to function.
