How to Open your Commercial Web Site Using the FrontPage Software
Using Microsoft FrontPage 98
Step One:
Open Microsoft Frontpage on your computer by clicking Start->Programs->Microsoft Frontpage
Step Two:
Once FrontPage launches you will be presented with the "Getting Started" dialogue box. This dialogue box will default to the last web you opened. If this is your first time using FrontPage 98, you will need to select the "More Webs" button. If you have previously opened your web on the server, you can click "OK" to open your web. You can skip Step Three if this is the case.
We will use the user "jqpublic" as an example.
Step Three:
After clicking on the "More Webs" button in the "Getting Started" dialogue box, you will be presented with the "Open FrontPage Web" dialogue box below. You can immediately open your web by entering "www.yourdomain.com" (substitute "yourdomain.com" for whatever your registered domain name is) followed by your username and hitting the Enter key. NOTE: You can not click the "OK" button if you use this trick. You must hit the Enter key.
Step Four:
After Clicking "OK" you will be prompted to enter your username and password. Without this you WILL NOT be able to access your web.
Step Five:
Once the web completes loading you will then be able to add content to and edit your web.
Using Microsoft FrontPage 2000 / 2002
Step One:
Open Microsoft Frontpage on your computer by clicking:

The http:// protocol is required to open a remote site. Lacking this information, FrontPage will attempt to open a local web.
