Frontpage Extensions

I am trying to develop a corporate intranet but my
Frontpage Components on the site aren't working.
According to the Add/Remove Windows Components, I have
the Frontpage 2000 extensions installed on the server but
I get the following error when viewing the site.

Database Results Error
[Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] '(unknown)' is not a valid
path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly
and that you are connected to the server on which the
file resides.

The rest of the site works fine except my database
results and forms.

What am I missing?

Is there any particular reason you're using Excel as a "database?"

Can you post the relevant code that is trying to connect to this data
source?

First off stop using ODBC. Second get a real database like access,
mySql, SQL server or something like that to use instead.

Second read the following pages. The first one give you some idea of
what you should be doing with a real database. The second one mentions
that ODBC is being Deprecated from the MDAC starting with ADO version 2.8.

OK, I admit it - I'm a FrontPage user ! :-} Now learning PHP and I LIKE it! but - anyone had problems or offer advice about integrating PHP with FrontPage extensions?

Hi. Is there any article that talks about the purpose of each of the Frontpage extensions folders (_vti_cnf, _vti_pvt, _vti_script, and _vti_txt)? When I create a new ASP.NET application, these folders are automatically created. Thanks, Robert Scheer

Hi guys I'm trying to migrate to VS2005... I've managed to do that, but realised I'd opened my web projects as file projects, and I'm getting the error about network BIOS command limit. Anyway, I decided to have a go at loading them as web projects from our Win2k3 server. It gets so far and then says "The web server does not appear to have FrontPage server extensions installed".

Good afternoon, We have numerous web sites which are currently being manually published via Front Page. Doing one or two sites on an ad-hoc basis was not too bad but we are now over 20 or thirty at set times during a business day.

I am reading some stuff on .NET 2.0 and it refers to FTP based project as an alternative to 'FrontPage Server Extensions' which are then obsolete. Ok, I never heard of this. 'FrontPage Server Extensions' would be a way to synchronise files from a development environment to production? I found this in wiki: <wiki> FrontPage Server Extensions
