Dear Richard,

I wanted to take a go at ASP. However, i cant find Microsoft Front Page on my computer. What i have is Microsoft Office Access, Word, Excel, Groove, OneNote, Powerpoint, InfoPath, Outlook and Pulisher. I checked under Microsoft Works but Front Page is not listed either. What alternatives do i have?

Best regards,

MICAH

FrontPage was a separate product. I think it came with the Office Developer (Ultimate, or whatever other marketing name they gave it) but only up until Office 2003. After that, they moved it to a different suite of products and now call it "Expression Web." FrontPage was discontinued. I still use it though, because I love it.

Your alternatives? Well, you could buy Expression Web. It's a good product. I'm going to be making some tutorials for it this summer. It's very similar to FrontPage. However, in my ASP classes, we focus on writing straight code (HTML and ASP scripts) so you really don't NEED FrontPage. Any web editor will do. If you know how to edit HTML and use an FTP program, that will work too.
