latest edition of the FrontPage Bulletin,
read what's below. To start receiving
upcoming editions,
subscribe today.
NOTE: I receive my MS FP
Bulletin one month late, now I have found
the
http://microsoftfrontpage.com/ site, I
will be able to post the bulletins sooner.
However please note the bulletins one
receives via subscription at MS are not the
same format as the site bulletins and that
the msfp site also contains other
information. There is one other important
point to note and that is the archives at
microsoftfrontpage.com do not as far as back
as these, so if you want to look back this
is the place to do it! You can also obtain
the bulletins as
FREE E-books with your membership
of AnyFrontPage Bytes.

NEW ARTICLES
WORKING
WITH FORM RESULTS IN YOUR FRONTPAGE 2000-BASED WEB
When visitors fill out forms in your FrontPage 2000-based Web site, you can
store the data in e-mail, a database, a text file, or a Web page. This article
describes how and why to store form results in a text file or Web page, and what
additional things you can do with the form results, such as displaying them in a
Microsoft Excel file.
MANAGING
DISCUSSION THREADS IN FRONTPAGE 2000
When visitors to your site start a new discussion or participate in an existing
one, every article they post is listed on the table of contents page and stored
on the Web server as a single file. Generally, you have no need to edit these
files. However, in some circumstances, you may want to edit or delete these
files. Information in this article will help you safely edit or delete files
that make up discussion threads.
BEYOND
