Can anyone tell me the steps I would need to take to
convert a web created in Frontpage 98 to work with
Frontpage 2002??

Thanks

Nothing. FrontPage 2002 is backwards-compatibile. Now, if you were going the
other way, it would be more difficult, but you're not.

Thanks. I had thought the Frontpage 2002 would be
backwards compatible, but I am having a few problems. I
originally had a Frontpage 98 web on one web server, and
have moved all the relevant files to a new web server.

At first the components on the web that used the FP server
extensions worked without issue...but now, for example,
if one of the forms is opened in FP2002 - no changes are
made and the file is closed over - I am seeing frontpage
server extension errors that tell me that the Web has to
be frontpage server enabled....And when I create a new
form in frontpage 2002 I see a similar error that the
server extensions need to be configured to hold the SMTP
details. SMTP is indeed configured and other forms
(created in FP98) still work and email the form details to
the right people.

Any ideas how I can resolve this problem??

Thanks

Bob

The bad word in there was "moved"

Did you Publish from server to server?
If not the FP SE on the new server are corrupt from not using FP to Publish
- have the host on the new server repair/reinstall the FP SE
