linked to missing export MSVCRT.DLL??_U@YAPAXI@Z
Then a second box comes on the screen and says:

Can't find MS Access Database when installing Frontpage
During my attempt to install Frontpage 2002 to my XP, it
stalled and said it couldn't find MS Access Database, so I
chose to stop it rather than go on and ignore it. What
should I do? Tag: Pagination Tag: 21093
Unable To Find My Written Words
To Whom It may Concern,
I used the corporate web page from FrontPage 2002,
and when I wrote my wording under the heading of the
section Our Mission, I went on to finish up the web page.
When I previewed the entire page after finishing it, the
only thing that shows up in the section heading called
Our Mission is the heading Our Mission. This isn't the
only heading that didn't show my wording, I only used the
section called Our Mission as an example.
I saved it after finishing each section, and I kept
it as an unfinished task so I could continue working on
my corporate project.
Now some of the other section headings on the other pages
were just fine and I could read my wording that I had
typed in, however some of those sections were broken up
sentences and paragraphs under preview instead of what
you see under normal.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out this trouble,
because I can't figure this out.

recurring meetings
I'm attempting to create a reservation page using
FrontPage. I have a situation where some reservations are
recurring. I'd like to have a feature whereby users can
select recurring options and identify their meeting is
weekly, bi-weekly, second tuesday of every month, etc.
This is similar to the manner in which Outlook works for
us right now. Unfortunately, we've required a password
for each meeting so that the requester retains control.
This means each recurring meeting needs it's own password.
Any suggestions on how we accomplish this with FrontPage? Tag: Pagination Tag: 21084

Hit Counter question

digits="0" i-image="4"
PREVIEW="<strong>[Hit Counter]</strong>" i-

Does this code look correct or am I missing something?
I've uploaded onto server which as FP extensions
installed, but counter doesn't show up at all.

Automatically Generating Addresses
I have a graphic intensive site, and it seems that the majority of time
taken away when I update my site comes about when I have to add the address
to the thumbnailed images (for instance---not actual
addy---images/laughing.jpg...I have to manually add in the
http://www.mysite.com in front of the images/laughing.jpg). Is there a way
to get FrontPage to automatically generate the address?
I have the FP2002...and I upload the site via FTP, and do not use FP
extensions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Database lookup stops working when published
I am accessing an Excel Spreadsheet via forms in an ASP
page. When I publish to my own PC (I installed IIS and
Frontapge Extensions) it works OK. The database
connection is via a 'file' on the PC.
When I publish it to the web (via a host service) it
stops working. It just goes away, and doesn't return the
results page. It is recognising the excel spreadsheet,
because if I cancel it (after several minutes) it
sometimes has one record from the database displayed.
The web host company tells me it appears to work on their
server locally, but not through the internet. They seem
to think it has something to do with the DSN setting. I
thought FronPage (Version 2002) did all that stuff?
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Steve Tag: Pagination Tag: 21022

Replace entire published web?
How do I?
I have a published web, and I've entirely recreated it. How do I replace
the published one with the new one? If I simply "publish" the new web,
won't that leave all the old (now unused) pages/files?
Do I open the already published web through FrontPage, and delete
everything? (Scary thought, though I've published the entire web to my
local computer as a back up.)
The web has a hit counter. Is there anyway to transfer the number of hits
to the new counter?
Many thanks.

problem publishing to the web
Let me start by letting you know that I am using FrontPage 2000 with
winXP. I am new to using FrontPage and creating web pages. I created a
personal web page and I am having a problem publishing my site to the
server. I have webspace available through my ISP, Cox cable. I followed
the instructions given by FrontPage and by Cox's website
(http://support.cox.net/custsup/personal_pages/instructions.shtml) and it
appears that I was able to publish it no problem. Through Cox's website I
am able to see that the files are indeed on their server. When I try to
view my website though, http://members.cox.net/jamesclery/, I just get a
screen with info on getting started, the same thing I got before I published
it. Cox does support FrontPage and I have activated FrontPage server
extensions.
Also once I publish the pages I get a dialog box in FrontPage with a
link to view my site. When I select the link, I am asked to log in and then
I get a page with all of the files and folders that I published, but not a
web page. The address is also listed as FTTP: (or ftp:) instead of http:.
I have know idea what the problem could be and being inexperienced with
creating and publishing WebPages I have no idea where to start
troubleshooting. Cox's tech support for this is of no help at all. If
anyone can help or point me in the right direction for troubleshooting I
would appreciate it, maybe someone else who has a personal web page with Cox
cable. Tag: Pagination Tag: 20970
