Automate Changes to Form Properties

[Greg Maxey]

A few weeks ago I changed my User Feedback form. It is an .Asp file and
during the process, I saved the old form as User_feedback(Old).Asp and the
new form is User Feedback.Asp. When I did these changes, I verified that
the User Feedback button on my page banners all worked correctly.

Today I notice (I had forgotten about them) that I have a User Feeback form
button on each on many of my pages. When I pressed one of those I got the
web page is not available message.

When right click the form button, select "Form Propteries", click on
Options, I see that the Action setting is User_Feedback (Old).Asp. I can
change this to User Feedback.Asp. Save the page, publish and the button
works correctly.

I have 50 or 60 pages that I need to update. I don't know anything about
FrontPage macros. In Word I would use something like:

For Each Page in My Website
For Each FormButton In Page.FormButtons
If FormButton.Name = "User FeedBack" Then
FormButton.Options.Action = "User Feedback.Asp
End IF
Next
Next

Is there some Frontpage method of doing the same thing? Thanks.

Use Search and Replace.
Edit->Replace

Find What: User_Feedback (Old).Asp
Replace With: Feedback.Asp

Select All Pages radio and "Find in source code" checkbox.
Click "Replace All"

In FP2003 this will search and replace all pages, with a warning that
you cannot undo the changes. In earlier versions each page with the old
page will be listed, then opened one by one for you to verify the
replacement.

You don't need VBA
Just use Find (User_feedback(Old).Asp) and Replace (User_feedback.Asp) in All Pages -Find in Code
