Hi,

Does anybody know how, in FrontPage 2003, I can set my of my pages as the
default 404 and 403 error page?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check with your host to see if they allow custom error pages,
and if they do, how to set them up.

This is a server configuration, not a FrontPage issue.
When you design your error pages, if your server is running on IIS (Windows)
make sure that *every* link in your error page is absolute, or at least root
relative. IIS substitutes the error page for the page in error, this means
it is effectively renamed to the path and filename of the missing page, and
this can break the relative links that FrontPage likes to use. FrontPage
will not manage absolute or root relative links.
Apache/Unix, if using .htaccess redirection for the error, redirects to the
error page, so links do not have to be absolute.
 
Your host would have to offer this ability to you (usually it can be done
through your "control panel" of your hosting account).

Or you can do it manually through with Linux/Unix, through the use of the
..htaccess feature (note the fullstop preceding the 'h').
