Will FP 2003 screw up ASP code

[Guest]

I know FP earlier versions have been avoided as asp file editors, I use Notepad or Araneae.
I am about to build VP-ASP shopping cart with many asp pages that can be customised.

1. Is it completely safe to use FP2003 to edit these?
2. If I want to add html code to the pages, that I want FP to produce in WYSIWYG, will I not have to risk these files to the control on FP2003 anyway?

Thanks

Hi Phil,

It is much "safer" than it use to be, meaning that I've seen some cases of ASP being modified by FP3. It is very minor however.

.... and, if you write your ASP code correctly, earlier versions of FrontPage
won't mess with it either.
