    - No FTP Controls I am a little, okay a lot, upset about this and it really burns my butt so please excuse me while I rant a little bit. Maybe you can help me? I hope so. I have looked everywhere, tried everything, and there are no FTP controls that I can use to have many accounts under one FTP setting. Don't tell me to go to the file menu, select Open, go down to the Modify or Change FTP settings because that DOES NOT WORK. If it does, I have not figured out how to get it to work so I can switch from one to the other without shutting down first. Every single website I host is on the same server and therefore has the same IP address and the same FTP settings. the thing different with each one is their user name and password of course. This Frontpage 2003 DOES NOT allow for me to log out of one and into another. I have to completely shut down Frontpage 2003 and start it back up again before it will allow for me to enter a different user name and different password for the same FTP setting. The designers of Frontpage 2003 obviously did not intend it to be used by webmasters who actually are working on more than one website. Is there any way I can work around this or am I missing something? -- John B Thompson II IdentityDesigns.com Tag: can not publish error 500 command not understood Tag: 40342

    - Need help quick! Cannot upload to web server After a hard drive crash I installed Office 2000 on a new computer. I upgraded to FP2003. I am able to import from our present web site, but I cannot upload. When I attempt to upload, FP automatically adds our web site to the user name. How can I correct this? No matter what I do I cannot clear this information. Even typing over it does not work as FP adds our web site address to the user name. Does Front Page have to be on the C: drive?

    - Conditional data display I'm using ASP to display data from my Access DB and I'm stumped about how to do the following: I have two tables. One lists nursery stock and the other lists locations where each stock item can be found. I think I understand how to use the Count operator to present a column which shows how many locations exist for each stock item but what I really want to do is to present a column that says "Out of stock" if there are no locations and shows how many locations there are if there are one or more.

    - Discussion Webs I've tried reading through all the posts before asking this, but didn't find an answer, so I'll try asking. I made a discussion web on FP2000, and worked for a few days, but the TOC does not seem to update, and it seems from time to time the bullets in the welcome screen get right aligned for some strange reason. I can usually fix that by changing the alignment, but it's odd that it does that. The most annoying thing is though that I lose the messages. They are still on the server, but the TOC will not update. The server I use has the 2002 extentions installed, but confused on how to correct this. I don't have the discussion web listed as a subweb, it sits in the main root directory. Thanks in advance for any help Tag: can not publish error 500 command not understood Tag: 40272

But when I preview in a browser or publish to the web it looks fine. Why does it do this? I obviously would like to see the image in design view. 2) I also am using photo galleries. When I create a photo gallery it shows boxes with little red X's in them, but when you click the thumbnail the big pictures open as normal.

I publish my website from a working area, but understand I need to work directly on the webpage on the server to see the correct help dialog boxes. (I am using FrontPage as my web editor.) The website is on the D:\ Drive of the server and it is storing the index file(s) on the c:\ drive. This server has several websites with different domains on the computer. Each has its own indexing working. And the indexing seems to be working In Frontpage when I get to the Search Form Properties and the Search Results table, I do not know what to selectin "Scope of the Search Results" If I select directory and browse, I cannot see anything but what is in the directory of the website, thus not where the index is placing the information. If I select the Entire Web Site and save the webpage. When I try a search I get an error that says the FrontPage Runtime Error and something about the extensions are not working which is what I can get if I do not publish the page with server extensions in. The same happens when I select "This Web" What am I doing wrong? This use to work so well in older versions of Frontpage.

Once the floor is selected on that building... yet another box dynamically appears giving the user the last set of options for that floor: electrical, plumbing, architectural...etc. Once the final option is selected the pdf file (drawing) will begin to load in a frame.

A 500 error usually indicates a permissions setting problem on the server.
