From: CJB on 12 May 2010 04:24 So there are at least four ways to convert from FP into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver ... ? 1. copy FP web from HD to HD and *import* into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver 2. copy FP web from HD to HD and *open* into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver 3. publish FP web from HD to HD and *import* into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver 4. publish FP web from HD to HD and *open* into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver 5. ...ditto all ... but import FP web from server ... etc. I have over 100 pages - all with one of two FP themes - but do not use FP extensions - but there's loads of Javascript.

From: Ronx on 12 May 2010 05:16 Easiest way: Make a backup of the website - there should always be an up to date backup. Open the website in SD or EW. Do NOT import - except when using the EW Import Wizard and you have the login credentials for the site. Importing without the credentials will leave bits of the website behind - often the important bits. Do NOT copy. A FrontPage website contains _vti* folders, and the contents of these files are unique for each website, even if one website is an "exact" copy of another. For Dreamweaver - never used Dreamweaver, probably never will, but Dreamweaver does not use the _vti* folders. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/wf-menu.aspx CJB presented the following explanation : > So there are at least four ways to convert from > FP into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver ... ? > 1. copy FP web from HD to HD and *import* into > SSD or EW or Dreamweaver > 2. copy FP web from HD to HD and *open* into > SSD or EW or Dreamweaver > 3. publish FP web from HD to HD and *import* > into SSD or EW or Dreamweaver > 4. publish FP web from HD to HD and *open* into > SSD or EW or Dreamweaver > 5. ...ditto all ... but import FP web from > server ... etc. > I have over 100 pages - all with one of two FP > themes - but do not use FP extensions - but > there's loads of Javascript.

From: Ronx on 12 May 2010 05:22 If the credentials (UserId and Password) for the source website are used, the Expression Web Site Import Wizard actually publishes the source website to the destination - so it does get everything. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp/wf-menu.aspx Stefan B Rusynko expressed precisely : > For SPD and EW Only your # 4 will work at > getting the entire site (Just Open the FP Site > in SPD or EW - Do not Import it!) - all of your > options that say import will NOT get the entire > site > -- > _____________________________________________ > SBR @ ENJOY (-: [ Microsoft MVP - > FrontPage ] "Warning - Using the F1 Key will > not break anything!"

From: ANONYMOUS on 13 May 2010 19:00 You could try Expression Engine Core and it is free to download and use it. The link is here: <https://secure.expressionengine.com/download.php?ACT=agreement&id=34> Although it is not as easy as FrontPage 2003, it by far a better product to start using HTML/XML/XHTML and CSS and to learn properly the intricacies of this new technology!
