Hello milesy.

There is just not enough info here to give you any meaningful advice. Are you getting an error message installing the extensions? Installed but giving an error to the users? Installed but no errors? Is the site ASP, plain HTML, CF?
Regards

Ok there is no error message...i went to control panel installed server extensions.....this went ok
when i look at the wesite listing in admin tools...comp management...it lists my webs...that is the Default Web which i have disabled and my website that is working.
I have used hotdog pro to write the code and this works on both my local website and also on the web server that i uploaded the site to.
i then had to move the whole website from a freeservers site to another one. The new server uses frontpage extens. so i used fp2000 to add a counter to the 'index' page.
This counter works on the web based server, however does not work on my local server.....i want to be able to use it on my local server so that i can write new code using fp extensions and see it before i upload it to the web based server. But i cannot get the extensions to apply to my local website

Hi,

Assuming you have installed IIS and the FrontPage Extensions corretly, you need to create a FrontPage Web, which is different than just a folder on the IIS Server. Creating a FrontPage Web gives the author permissions to publish and access tothe FrontPage componets.

Create the Frontage from the Microsoft Management Console (MCC) under Administrative Tasks, name the Web, and give yourself author permissions.

The FrontPage Web folder will be created with the related virtual directories. At this point, you can either logon directly to the Web folder or publish to the Web folder.
