Will Frontpage 2003 work on my new computer with Vista operating system?
Just wanted to check before I load it. Thanks.

It works fine on mine with Vista.

FrontPage 2000 and FrontPage 2003 work perfectly on my Vista 32-bit Business
and 64-bit Ultimate.

Your mileage may differ, I suppose, but . . .
 
“Insert Hyperlink†does not work in FP2003 under Vista. FP2003 will crash
when you attempt it. You will have to code links manually. Also, FP2003
spell check stopped working. Everything else works OK.

Brian,

My problem is that I want to re-install my FrontPage 2000 on a new laptop
running Vista. The problem is that my FrontPage is an upgrade from FrontPage
98; and FrontPage 98 does not install on Vista. Any idea how I can install an
Upgrade of FrontPage 2000 on Vista when I cannot install FrontPage 98 to
begin with?

Thanks

I think I found your answer:

I was successful installing an upgrade version by placing the Front Page
98 - 3.5" disk in the A Drive and the Front Page 2000 upgrade CD in the CD
drive. I had to edit the shortcut on the desktop to run in Compatibility
mode with Vista for the "FP 2000" program to run correctly.

Nonny, is it the case that FrontPage 2000 cannot do a shiny media check?

I've not shown any signs of Alzheimer's yet, but when I upgraded from
98 to 2000, and then from 2000 to 2003, it needed to find the
qualifying product installed on my system.

Same thing happened when I went to install 2003 on my notebook: had to
install the qualifying product first.

servers that host sites.......Thanks Bill

It will work with all sites that have FrontPage extensions installed,
and there are still a ton of those to choose from.

Some hosting sites are moving away from being "FrontPage-friendly"
which only means that if the website uses some of FP's proprietary
bots, they won't work without help.

Frontpage used to be crap. It still is. Most of the ISPs run Apache on
Linux and do not support FP extensions.

Or are MS servers running IIS and supporting ASP. I do agree with you,
though, that FP is a little long-in-the-tooth now. This could be why
MS dropped it in favour of Expression Web around the time of the last
MS Office release. I now use Visual Studio 2008 Web Developer for my
website designs, tailoring all code manually. With Intellisense on
HTML, ASP, Javascript, VBScript, CSS and pretty much everything, it's
a fantastic environment to code in. And I daresay it would be found
useful for a Linux hosting environment also...not sure if it supports
PHP Intellisense though - but I imagine an Intellisense plugin exists
or will exist going forwards.

I think Visual Studio is a great product. I also like SQL Server.
However, for personal use I think Linux is the best bet and creates the
most value. Gimp is not as good as Photoshop but so far it has been
good enough. As I upgrade to later versions of Linux and Gimp I hope
that the printer support gets better and more features get added so the
difference between Gimp and Photoshop become less at least as far as
features go. Also I hope that the quality of the algorithms get better.

As far as an Office product I think Open Office (less features than MS
Office) works better than Office and is good enough notwithstanding that
MS Access is the best desktop DB around.
