    - What generalmoters said after reading these groups JUST ABIT OF LIGHT ENTERTAINMENT (HOPE NO ONE MINDS) GM's response to Bill Gates comments ..Just for a laugh...... For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent computer expo COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated; "If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: 1.. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3.. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4.. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5.. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6.. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light. 7.. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying. 8.. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9.. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 10.. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. And if you couldn't turn it off, you would have to, close all of the windows, reopen the windows. Then turn it off.

    - Folders view problem I am new to FrontPage 2002 and working with the book Step by Step. The view of the web files in folders view shows no information or titles under "Contents of C:\XXXX". The book shows a picture that displays the contents of the Web site in Folders view. I have no information there except little squares. I have tried openning my own web page and I get the same view. There should be Name, Title, Size, Type, etc. (Those names are not on the bars, they are blank.) I hope I am clear on this. I am using Windows XP Professional.

    - Using Database result in form I have a quick question from a Newbie. I would like to use a value returned from a database query as a variable in a form. Here's the scenario: I query the database to find the highest value for my record [Select RequestNumber from Results Where Key= (Select Max(key) From Results)]. That gives me a result called RequestNumber which I would then like to increment and use as a variable when I add a new record. Namely RequestNumber + 1 would be the next record to add. So far I have not been able to access RequestNumber on the form. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: FrontPage won't let me access database functions. Tag: 22106

It just stays there at the top of every page. How do I get this "framed" page to un-frame or how do i create a link that will open the rest of my pages without this "framed" page?

    - photogallery display problems Greetings all; I created a website (www.geocities.com/barbbrahmstedt) using Frontpage 2002 that contains several photogalleries on different pages. The site was working perfectly - displaying all thumbnails as expected and displaying enlargements as expected - until I recently rebuilt the entire site. During the rebuild I deleted all files from the ftp server and then copied all new fles from the new site back to the server. Since then, the pages will load okay and all picture that are not part of a photogallery display properly but the photogalleries are not functioning. The first picture in the gallery (slideshow format) shows up in the enlargement space but none of the thumbnails appear. Clicking on the thumbnail placeholders will not change the enlarged image. I noticed that when I developed my original site I had files called Thumbs.db scattered throughout the site. With this new build, these files were not generated. A year has passed since I originally built the site so there's probably something I'm just forgetting to do but I'll be darned if I can figure out what! I'm using WS_FTP Pro to do the ftp transfers (v. 7.62) Any help? Thanks! Tag: FrontPage won't let me access database functions. Tag: 22100

    - Creating Templates and Updating Navigation Bars I'm creating a new web from scratch and I'm running into some problems. The website I have created will be 4 levels + the homepage. I have created my own templates for each page and the homepage. Each page has basic information in the left nav bar that will change every 6-8 months. When I update my nav bars, I want to only update one page. In Dreamweaver, I use to update only my server side include page and every page that had a server side include would update. I know MF2002 must have a tool similar to Dreamweavers SSI. I was told by one individual that I should create my template, and just "Insert/File" into a blank page and this would solve my problem. I tried it but when I went back and changed the template, the change didn't appear in the new page. Please help because i have been banging my head for the last two weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!
