FrontPage 2003 "Bugs" ???

The following is a list of Bugs or errors I have experienced in FrontPage 2003.

These may or may not be know issues in FrontPage, but I can only tell you this is whats happening on my setup which is:

  • XP Pro
  • P4
  • IIS
  • SharePoint 1
  • FrontPage Server Extensions 2002
  • FrontPage 2003
 

 

 

  1. The Problem: FrontPage Toolbars Crashing
    This is a old bug that I thought 2002 had fixed!
    I use the FrontPage toolbars very much, I admit it I'm a GUI junky!!
    It takes quite a while to customize them and to remember where all the buttons are. So when I open FrontPage and find my toolbars and customizations are gone, I am not a happy camper!!

    Note: If you have Add-ins installed that use the FrontPage Toolbars, these are the most likely cause of of the toolbars crashing.

    The solution:
    Make a backup copy of the file that holds the values!
    The file in question is: CmdUI.PRF
    And it is normally located here:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State

    I create a folder called Original in \state\ then after creating my custom toolbar in FrontPage I copy the CmdUI.PRF file and paste it into Original.

    Next I add this link to my Favorites, so I can find it easy.

    Now when FrontPage's Toolbar Crashes, I close FrontPage, go to favorites, click on the link, copy the the file CmdUI.PRF from the original folder and paste it in to the state folder overwriting the reset one.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State


  1. The Problem: Find and Replace Crashes when using a subweb.
    This has been a problem from day 1 with me. First I would like to point out that this Find an Replace feature is Awesome!! The ability to find tags an insert, queries and to add rules is tremendous indeed. This may only happen when working on a live server (development server in my case).

    Back to the problem; this doesn't work in a subweb!

    The Solution:
    Close all instances of FrontPage.
    Open FrontPage.
    Open the subweb directly, don't open the parent web first, use open dialog box to drill down to the subweb.
    Now run Find and Replace.


  1. The Problem: FrontPage's OPEN  button is grayed out when trying to open a web.
    This is not really a bug, is it?
    Anyway, the reason the Open button is grayed out is there are no files to open. Just use the look in drop down and drill down until you find something to open.
    If you can't find one, create one in Notepad drop it into your web site. to create an html file just type this:
    <html>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    And save it as .htm
