New in Microsoft FrontPage®
version 2002, ASP Source Code Preservation allows users to edit
content in pages containing ASP code without disturbing the ASP
code itself. You can always open ASP pages in Normal View,
regardless of whether the ASP code violates convention (such as
multiple <head>, or <body> tags).

A recently released Jupiter Media Metrix study said that most

traditional merchants on the Web, banks, credit card companies and
other institutions they already know.

BUILD A COM
ADD-IN IN VISUAL BASIC
This article demonstrates how to build a Component Object Model
(COM) Add-In using Visual Basic®. Microsoft Office 2000 and
later versions support a new, uniform design architecture for
building application add-ins to enhance and control Office
applications, such as FrontPage. These add-ins are called COM
Add-Ins.

ADD-IN WRITTEN IN VISUAL C++
Comaddin.exe is a self-extracting executable that demonstrates
building an Office 2000 or Office XP Component Object Model
(COM) add-in using Visual C++®. This sample demonstrates the

creates a basic add-in shell that you can extend to build your
own Office or FrontPage add-in.

FRONTPAGE
SERVER EXTENSION SUPPORT BY VERSION
Your FrontPage 2002-based Web site will have the best Microsoft
FrontPage functionality when it is published to a Web server that
has installed the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions or
SharePoint™ Team Services. Without the latest server extensions,
certain new FrontPage-based Web features will not work. This is
also true for FrontPage versions 2000 and 98.
Below are lists of features and components requiring the new
server extensions as well as those requiring specific, earlier
versions.
The following new features require the FrontPage 2002 Server
Extensions:
- File Upload
- Custom Link Bars
- Shared border background
properties
- Usage Analysis Reports
- Top Ten List Web Component
- New Security Features (user
Roles)
In addition, the following
features also require a Web enabled with SharePoint Team
Services:
- Document Library
- List
- Survey
- Discussion Board
Further, without FrontPage Server
Extensions, certain other FrontPage-based Web features will not
work, such as most form handlers, search forms, site maps
organized by category, and hit counters.
The following components require at
least FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions:
- Database Results Wizard
- Send To Database Form Handler
- Nested sub webs
- Lightweight Source Control
(document check-in/check-out without VSS)
- Categories Component
- StyleSheet links to multiple
files or ASP files
- Database Interface Wizard
In addition, the following
components require at least an earlier version of the FrontPage
Server Extensions:
- Confirmation Field
- Discussion Form Handler
- FrontPage-created server-side
image maps
- Hit Counter
- Registration Form Handler
- Save Results Form Handler
- Search Form
- Field Set
Tip: To find out what
version FrontPage Server Extensions your Web server is running,
contact your server administrator or ISP.
