Problems with ASPX pages

[Steve]

I want most of the pages in my website to by ASPX pages
rather than HTM since they give me page-by-page control
over authentication/authorization. One problem is that
if I move or rename an ASPX page, Frontpage doesn't
automatically adjust the hyperlinks to it. It works fine
for ASP pages, but for some reason this critical function
is disabled for ASPX pages. Very annoying. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

which version of FrontPage are you using?
I've found that my copy of fp 2002 just won't do much in the way of
save-time stuff with aspx pages.

I have tried it with both 2002 and 2003. Incidentally, I
know the browse-time support for Frontpage components
such as navigation doesn't work with ASPX pages.
Apparently ASPX pages use a different spigot out of the
server which bypasses processing through the Frontpage
components. I can work around that, but I really want to
get the file rename feature working ...

more than the server situation the FrontPage includes are done on the
desktop. There's obviously some kind of work being done on the server
because of them or they wouldn't all get updated but those includes are
there before the page gets served. it's more like FrontPage doesn't want
you to use them. Probably hoping to force you to do it the right way. ;-)
as for the specific problem you're having; I think you have to have
FrontPage as the default "editor" in the tools/ configure editors dialog for
it to update hyperlinks or even search (like search and replace). so is
FrontPage configured to be your editor on aspx pages this way?
