My site at http://westerndirectorycompany.com has both HTML and ASP pages. Some ASP pages are hand modified....however when these pages are opened in Front Page all of the ASP tags are gone leaving just the HTML tags.
I have searched all of the Front Page KBs without any success.

Why oh why does Front Page remove my ASP tags?

I Thank you most highly for your valuable time.

What version are you using? Earlier versions of FrontPage used WebBots to
create the ASP. If you modified the ASP outside of FrontPage and later
opened the pages in FrontPage, the WebBot would revert and change your code.
You could circumvent this by removing all "WebBot" tags from the page.

Please post some brief "before" and "after" code snippets.

Alsp, please describe your setup. For example, are you
editing on a disk-based Web, a local Web server, a remote
Web server, or what? And if a remote Web server, what kind?

Also, it might be interesting to try some very simple test
cases. For example, if you:

1. Open a new blank Web page.
2. Make it contain:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<%=now()%>
</body>
</html>
3. Save it as test.asp.
4. Close it.
5. Open it.

What happens?

basically any asp generated by Frontpage (eg the database results wizard or
interface wizard) cannot be altered and it will give you a warning to this
effect - if you modify the code then try to save the file, it will say (to
paraphrase) 'this is a frontpage component, changes won't be saved [Ok | Cancel]
'
