FrontPage 2003 - Webbot Query

Guest

Is it possible to view all the webbot code that the FrontPage wizards
create.? I need to make a small change to the code in a form but I can't
locate the file the code is stored in. I know that it is possible to view
some code in FrontPage by clicking on the code tab but it does not seem to
list all the code created. Thanks for any replies.

You can not modify the FP webbots.
You can modify some of the code generated by some of the webbots, but FP will overwrite any code
changes the next time you open and save the page in FP.

All the code you can change appears in code view. but as stated you can't
change the webbot code in the code view, as FP will reset it to the original
code.

The code within the <!-- and --> are part of the web-bots - the server
extensions (the <!-- and --> are also used for standard HTML comments) which
are I believe compiled programs i.e. exe files, and therefore do not have
source code. What is the change you need to make, and why do you need to
get into the webbots to make it?

If the form needs changing, then that needs to be changed within the code
view or the design view.

The web bots "make it work" so to speak; but they don't determine how you
display and layout a form on the page, and I doubt anything within the
webbot code can fix the problem you have.

It is possible to change the code by copying it to notepad and then saving
the file from notepad. The problem I have is :
What I want to do is search an Access database field for more than one word
or a phrase. At present it will only return a phrase or one word. When I
create a search form in FrontPage 2003 ( Insert - Database - Results) and I
serach a field in an Access Database I am unable to search for more than one
word in the field. For example if I enter "blue car" it will not find a
record that has a field with "I have a car and it is blue". If I enter "car"
it will find that record.Thanks for any replies.

See response to your other post

Thanks for your reply. I'm writing the Asp code now and it's going ok. One
problem though - one of the Access fields has a url link in it. What is the
Asp command to display the field on a Web page as a URL? Thanks for any
replies.
