Editing/Searching .aspx files in FrontPage 2000? ....

Hello,

Can someone (Microsoft?) let me know if it is possible to:

a) Edit .aspx files in FrontPage 2000 without getting
the "Open File As" dialog each time the file is opened?

b) When using "Edit->Find..." (All Pages), FrontPage does
not seem to search .aspx files. Again, does FrontPage
2000 support searching .aspx files??

Many thanks,

Brent D.
 
FP2000 never heard of .aspx files, since it was release before .net, but you
can try using Tools | Options | Configure Editor and set FP to open .aspx
files.

you can do what Thomas said but watch out as aspx usually has xhtml
formatting and if you open and save with FrontPage it may try to "help" you
by changing the code.
IMHO you should do what Thomas said but specify note pad or a really good
(and cheap) editor called note tab from http://fookes.com/ to do your aspx
file editing.

Did that. FrontPage still displays the "Open File As"
dialog even with FP configured to open .aspx

Any other suggestions (other than the obvious --
upgrade) :)

Even when you set FP to be the editor for aspx pages you will always be
prompted to open as html or text.

FP2003 has many more abilities to handle .NET but be careful if you want to
upgrade to it as it still is limited. Eg. FP2k will let you edit within
<asp:panel> tags in design view but 2003 won't!

I have never been able to search html in aspx pages in fp2k. Either open
thoes pages then search through the html one at a time or rename the aspx
extension to htm for the purpose of searching html in many pages at once.
Experiment first as I'm not sure if renaming aspx to htm will cause FP to
add html to those pages or not.
