"Yes, I read that some web hosts will keep extensions for a while and if
they don't have it that Ms will make it available for me to upload."
If the hosts choose not to keep the extensions, you won't be able to upload
them. It's their decision.

| In response to the flurry of responses, in my initial post I mentioned
| trying Expressions and said that it did not work for me like FP 2003. I
| am at a point that I don't want to have to learn an entirely new
| system.
|
| In terms of the features that I use the most, I also said when starting
| the thread:
| "I do a small academic web on the side and FP saved me a lot of time
| with
| shared folders, navigation view that let me easily move files around,
| the
| 'include' columns, the insert web components feature, etc. "
| So those are the kind of FP 2003 features that I don't want to loose.
|
| Yes, I read that some web hosts will keep extensions for a while and if
| they don't have it that Ms will make it available for me to upload. But
| the handwriting is on the wall and it looks like I will have to
| stopping developing web pages. Unfortunately, my supervisor has me do
| special webs for him like the one now for a global organization.
|
| I appreciate this concern and support but I fear Ms has left me behind.
| I have never wanted to learn more than I have to learn. When I start
| back in 1996, I worked directly with simply html code but then FP came
| along and solved a lot of my problems. Now I need to figure out how to
| transfer my webs before FP extensions are completely gone from web
| hosts that I would be willing to use.
|
| (Again another signature change for which I apologize, but this is
| still the person who started the thread.)
