I'm trying to follow the instructions for publishing to the Web using FrontPage in the ASPRunner helpfile--but do these instructions apply to Front Page 2003? I am trying to move the ASPRunner files into a file structure of a web site that is already established. What are the specific steps that I need to do to publish ASPRunner files into a FP2003 web site? Do I simply Import the files to the web folder? Do I have to convert the web subfolder a web itself? What file do I need to open in the web browser once I've exported all the files to launch the application?

In Frontpage you can only publish to your webroot. If you're saving all your ASPrunner directories and files in the website folder you're working in Frontpage, when you publish the site, all the ASPrunner directories&files will upload to your server. The catch here is you need to check if you have a special database directory with persmissions on your web server and make sure you save your database there. You cannot publish/upload your database in Frontpage if your database directory is outside of your webroot. Atleast this is the case with my webhost.
Then you must update the connection strings in your getfile.asp, login.asp files as well all the _dbconnection.asp files in your include folder...these can published/uploaded through frontpage though.
I found using a third party FTP software is much easier in uploading your ASPrunner files and folders to your web server because you have access to all your directories that are outside of your webroot . I use coffeepot ftp...cuz its Free and very simple.
