You must open the live remote web in FrontPage (not your local web) in order
for the server tab to be available. If it's still grey, then Godaddy
doesn't allow you to use that feature.

| Oh, that may be where my problem is. The server tab is greyed and I think
| that's because I have HE instead of XP. Godaddy does have their own
control
| panel with tools etc., but they do warn that FrontPage will not work well
| with them, that FP will overwrite their panel and the webs won't work
| correctly. Well, back to the drawing board for a workaround. I wonder if
| there's a way I can set up another pw/protected site say with my ISP and
just
| link to it. Not using FP but creating something else. Any ideas, or do you
| need to send me to another forum? TIA--
