Can I enter a command in Frontpage to automatically add ".htm" to the end of
a non-index page? Example: If I want to access "www.sample.com/newpage", i
have to add ".htm" to the end of the browser will not find the page. On index
pages, ".htm" is automatically added. Can I do it on nn-index pages? ANY help
will be appreciated!

No.

For index pages you can specify
www.sample.com/ and it will find and open the index page.

For all other pages you need the full address
e.g. www.sample.com/newpage.htm
or www.sample.com/newpage.html
 
Thanks Trevor,

I am in a bind. What about a redirect? Or will the lack of the extension
fail every time?

Cheers mate.

When you save a new page in FP you choose the extension...it's almost
automatic.

Without the extension a browser will think it's a folder or a subweb/site.

You need the full name with a redirection also
But if it is an index file, then a name such as www.sample.com/ should work
 
If the bind is that you've used the URL www.sample.com/newpage in a million
places, and you need that to work somehow, you could do this:

- Create a new directory under the site root and name it "newpage".

- Put "newpage.htm" into that directory, and then re-name it "index.htm".

Now, when a browser is pointed to www.sample.com/newpage , the page you want
will load.
 
Great Idea, Patty! I knew there was a solution! You're the best! I'll try
this ASAP! And yes, I used the URL in 3 magazines with over a million
subscribers!

THANKS VERY MUCH! (Finger's crossed!)

Jim
