Will websites done in Frontpage still work?

Will websites done in Frontpage still work even though Microsoft will no
longer be supporting it? (if I heard correctly)

Yes, web sites done in FrontPage will still work. Some of this depends upon
the company that hosts the web site however. For example, if a FrontPage
user has made use items that require the FrontPage Server Extensions and
their web hosting provider decides to stop supporting the FP Server
Extensions, then those parts that relied upon them would not function (such
as the form to email, search componetn, etc). Generally though, I don't
think most hosts will be dumping support for the FP Server extensions for a
number of years to come, especially since tools such as EW and Visual Studio
can use the extensions to publish their webs and projects to a server using
http with the FP Server Extensions.

See the replies to your other post. Please do not post multiple times since
it makes it hard to follow the replies and see if you've already been
helped.

Yes.....read the other post you sent. MS are just bringing out a new
product (Expressions).

This doesn't mean you can't continue to use FP2003.

Heck, people on this group are still using FP97 and FP98! (a product that
is almost 10 years old)

So you're pretty safe to use FP2003 for years to come.

Personally, I'm looking forward to Expressions.
