Editing from inside IE

[stever3901]

Our intranet server (NT 4.0 + IIS 4.0)died a while ago and we decided
it was tiem to upgrade it. We built the new server with Windows Server
2003 + IIS 6.0 with all the latest updates. We kept the Server name and
the IP address the same as the old server. We copied the contents of
the old web to the wwwroot folder and everything came up ok.

The only complaint I am getting from the group that updates the
intranet pages, is they are being asked to 'save as' once they make
their updates. I guess they use IE to browse to the page they want to
edit then they click the FrontPage button to edit it. Once they are
finished editing the page, they click the save button in Frontpage and
it asks them to 'Save As' instead of just saving it. If they open the
web directly from frontpage it works fine.

Any ideas why this changed and how to fix it?

Thanks

Steve

When they get the Save As dialog, can thye save to the web site directly?

That behavior can happen when a user is not auhrorized/authentticated to
save on the web site in FP and FP is prompting them to save to another
location. Soemtimes this behavior is affrtected by the windows version
(Win98 vs. win2k) and the IE version ad IE security settings.

If they can save to the web site directly, the problem is IE/FP
settingss. ou can try reinstalling FP.
