Question: Need to make all pages in FP web ASP, including home page

[Dwayne Conyers]

I want to change our index.htm to index.asp -- and doing this seems to break
all navigation in the web. The only other way I can think to implement this
is to make index.htm an empty page with a META TAG redirect to the ASP page.

How else can I accomplish this and maintain the FP navigation tools?

Hi, Dwayne,

Which version of FP are you using? I'm working with FP2003, and am able to
easily change the filename from the folder list and update my Web site an
needed, including navigation. (You can access the folder list pressing
Alt-F1.)

In FP2003 (and I believe FP2002), when you change the filename, you will see
a message asking you to confirm that you want to change the filename. Click
Yes, and then you will see a message telling you how many pages in your Web
site link to that page and asking you if you want to update these pages.
Click Yes.

This should update all hyperlinking and navigation within your Web site.
Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, you will need to do this manually for
all pages in your site. You could possibly write a VBA macro that would do
this, but it wouldn't be a simple macro. Perhaps there is an add-in that
will perform all these actions and change the hyperlinks as well as the
navigation node information. You might check with Jimcoaddins.com or
websunlimited.com to see if they have such an add-in. You could also ask
the microsoft.public.frontpage.addins newsgroup.
