New site problem

[Bill Hathaway]

Whenever I create a new site now (it wasn't always that
way and I am not sure what happpened to change it)
FrontPage creates the site and the default page gets
created as index.htm and it automatically changes it to
default.asp. I build a number of sites and I don't want
them all to have active server pages. Any ideas why
FrontPage is defaulting to create active server pages as
the home page? Any new pages that I create after the site
is created default to htm files. Help appreciated, thanks.

FP will usually check to see which default filename for the web server is in
the top of the list. It will then make sure that the default file in the
root of the subweb matches this. Otherwise it will just default to
default.htm typically. Check the order on the web server, sometimes
default.asp gets bumped above default.htm and will cause FP to create the
files as default.asp instead.

Hope this helps,
