My website, using Frontpage 2002, will work using Mozzilla as my browser,
but not MS Explorer. I have tried on different computers and every time I
use Mozilla, it works, but not Explorer. Can you help me figure out what
setting I have incorrectly set?

Yes, putting buttons inside the links does not seem to work.

I.E this (from your site) fails
<p><a href="Calendar.htm"><input type="button" value="Calendar"
name="B3"></a></p>
<p><a href="photo.htm"><input type="button" value="Photo Album"
name="B1"></a></p>
<p><a href="favorite.htm"><input type="button" value="Weekly Sermon"
name="B2"></a></p>
<p><a href="bulletinprayer.htm"><input type="button" value="Bulletin &amp;
Prayer list" name="B1"></a></p>
<p><a href="youthvbs2009.htm"><input type="button" value="Youth VBS"
name="b1"></a></p>


But this works
<p><a href="Calendar.htm">Calendar</a></p>
<p><a href="photo.htm">Photo Album</a></p>
<p><a href="favorite.htm">Weekly Sermon</a></p>
<p><a href="bulletinprayer.htm">Bulletin & Prayer list</a></p>
<p><a href="youthvbs2009.htm">Youth VBS</a></p>



Alternatively, you could use onclick=........ in each <input>
E.G.
<p><input type="button" value="Calendar"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/Calendar.htm"'></p>
<p><input type="button" value="Photo Album"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/photo.htm"'></p>
<p><input type="button" value="Weekly Sermon"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/favorite.htm"'></p>
<p><input type="button" value="Bulletin & Prayer list"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/bulletinprayer.htm"'></p>
<p><input type="button" value="Youth VBS"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/youthvbs2009.htm"'></p>

Similarly, the Related Links button could be
<input type="button" value="Related Links"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/related links.htm"'></a></p>


BTW,
The object pages do not have a link back to the home page. so I suggest that
you add this to the top of each set of links
<p><input type="button" value="Home"
onclick='location.href="http://www.cbcky.org/index.htm"'></p>
 
Trevor - the onclick method will generally fail in shared borders - the
links will not adjust when pages are in different folders, or moved to a
different folder. If EVERY page is always in the root folder then no
problem.

Open _borders/top.htm in FrontPage and delete all the extra <body> and
</body> tags.

Every extra <body> tag will incur an extra left border in the pages.

Do the same with _borders/left.htm

To make a button work as a link in Internet Explorer, you need to place each
button in a form and use the onclick event to change the page location (and
since shared borders are used, root relative links will be needed, not
relative links as you have now) - in practice it will be easier and neater
to use text links, or create buttons using a graphics editor.
