Is there an easy way to update a FP page in Expression Web?

[Sheerarae]

I upgraded to Vista recently and cannot get FP to work. I have two very
simple webpages to update - just putting new dates on the pages. I downloaded
the trial version of EW and still cannot make the updates. It's such a simple
thing to do and I am so frustrated. I am not a technical person, so FP was
quite easy for me. If I had known I would have such problems trying to do
such simple tasks, I would have stayed with XP....
Thanks for any advice

I did open the site in EW and all it lets me do is look at it. I can't make
changes...

Unless the live/remote server has the FP extensions, you would have saved the edited page to your
HD, then upload it to the live/remote server via EW or a 3rd Party FTP application.

It should work just fine. Have you tried the EW newsgroup?
microsoft.public.expression.webdesigner

Did you use the product key to activate EW?

Yes, I did.

Once you enter the product key, you need to restart your PC to effect the
change.

To publish, you open the site just like in FP 2003 File > Open > Site, and
you publish the same way , File > Publish site.....

Then choose the method of publishing (http:, ftp: file system (etc). Enter
the web or ftp address as normal, and your username/password where
applicable. It will connect and then you can publish as you would do in FP.
