Web Bots -- Things to keep in mind
General Notes
- Make sure when you setup your web server account that you ask to have the same version
of FrontPage Extensions installed as the version of FrontPage you are using on your
machine. Meaning FrontPage 98 Extensions if you are using FrontPage 98, FrontPage 97
Extensions if you are using FrontPage 97, and FrontPage 1.1 Extensions if you are using
FrontPage 1.1.
When a provider states they support FrontPage Extension that is like a
gas station saying they support unleaded and diesel fueled vehicles. What type of gas
actually goes into the vehicle is dependent on YOU. Therefore, do not assume you will have
access to FrontPage Extensions unless you specifically ask for them during the
installation processes.
- If you are using FrontPage 2002 and your provider has FrontPage 2000 Extensions, then
expect to have problems.
