It also helps you to publish only what you want and to leave the rest behind on your local computer.  First, before publishing your site ask your Web site hosting company if they support the FrontPage Server Extensions*. Then follow these easy steps:  Make sure that your forms and links work properly on your own computer.  To mark the files you DO NOT want to publish:  1. On the View menu, click Reports, then select Publish Status.  2. Right-click the filename, then choose Properties.  3. Click the Properties tab, then select the Exclude This File When Publishing the Rest of the Web checkbox. (Make sure that this box is cleared for the files that you do want to publish.) Then, to continue publishing, click Publish Web on the File menu, then choose Options. Select the options that apply to you.  Finally, enter the URL of your Web site (such as http://www.mydomainname.com) and then click Publish. FrontPage does the rest!  *If they do not support the FrontPage Server Extensions, you can select a Web hosting company from the list of registered Web Presence Providers for FrontPage at:  http://www.microsoftwpp.com/wppsearch   Tip courtesy of ScreamDesign, Inc.
