FP Erasing Code

[rn5a]

One of my friends created a dynamic website using FrontPage. The
entire code is in ASP & the database is MS-Access. Since FP doesn't
have the ability to add e-mailing code (this is what my friend told
me; I have never used FP), I manually added the e-mailing ASP code
using CDO.MESSAGE.

After adding the necessary code, I passed the ASP file back to my
friend but when he opened the ASP file, strangely he found that FP
erased all the e-mailing code that I had added. This has been
happening repeatedly.

What could be causing this & how do I overcome this problem?

If the ASP code is in a .asp page
- FP will not touch it
Where / how did you add the code and how are you passing it to your friend

Thanks for the response, Stefan.

Yeah...the ASP code exists in a .asp page. I am adding the ASP code
using a text editor named TextPad & am passing it to my friend by
directly uploading the file to his server. He then downloads the ASP
file (with the code I added) to his local machine & opens it in FP to
find the code I added already stripped!

Any other suggestions?

Regards...

Can you provide a example of how you are coding the page?

He should be opening your .asp page in a server based web, not a disc based web in FP

FP will remove your code if it is causes malformed Html
- server side code should never split html blocks
- FP will always attempt to correct malformed html
(required in order to view the page in design view)

What happens when he open the page in Code view 1st

Without seeing a sample of your code it is difficult to determine if it is anything else
