My web host has changed servers over the weekend, and they have given me a
new username and password to use. But I don't know how to change these
settings in FrontPage. As soon as I hit the "Publish" button it trues to
conect via the old settings and just gives me an error message. Can you
advise how I change the username and password for the remote server?
 
Publish only remembers the last one you logged in to. Don't use it. Use
"File | Publish Site"

Thanks for response Tom.

I get the same issue whether I use 'Publish' or 'File/Publish Site'. It
prompts me to click "Remote Web Site Properties" which I do - but there is
nowhere there to change my settings.
 
There is no setting to change in FrontPage - FrontPage does not remember
passwords, Internet Explorer does.
Have you waited long enough for DNS changes to propagate (this could take
anything from a few minutes to 96 hours).
What happens when you try to Publish:
Do you get the Login dialogue?
Did you get the login dialogue before the server change?
What is the exact error message (if there is an error message)?
Does your host still support FrontPage extensions? - many hosts use
"changing servers" as a reason to remove the extensions.

These are a lot of questions, but answers to them may help to solve the
problem.
