Dan, If you find anything interesting please let us know (maybe on DBA-TECH though). It will be quite awhile before I get through the entire book. After I do that I will probably try FP out on the next web site I get. Until then I'm holding off upgrading GoLive and will maintain all of my other sites with it.

My goal was to get my site up ASAP. But you now have me curious. I will need to look in on what VBA can do in a website. And perhaps what it can do for manipulating data in a database on the server!

Biggest Upgrade ever. For instance, you no longer have to use FrontPage server extensions so you can now easily post your website on any server. Actually I chuckle quite a bit as I'm reading this book. Paul does a good job of not coming right out and saying "in this version of FP MS, copied how the other major web design software functions". (To me, it looks like "MS GoLive" minus the really handy Adobe "Smart Objects". FP even has Smart Objects, just not one that interacts with Photoshop, illustrator, etc. the way GoLive's does.) Did he cover FP's VBA enough so that you might consider using it for added functionality? All cynicism aside, FP2k3 is looking like a top of the line web design/site management product. Since I subscribe to MSDN anyway, maybe now I will use FP and I can save a few hundred bucks on GoLive upgrades!

This was my first experience creating a web site. I have no experience to compare to, but I have no complaints to think of either. I've been specifically told that FP 2003 is a big improvement over previous versions. My site has no code in it, so I can't offer any comments on that aspect. I would recommend this book. It may not have advanced programming concepts, but it sure did me a lot of good.

FrontPage 2003 looks to be a good product with the same quality, standards based features as GoLive (which I have been using since) has. I'm giving it another chance. I purchased "Using FrontPage 2003 by Paul Colligan (QUE). He is a FrontPage guru. He covers pretty much everything including FrontPage VBA. Can't tell you much more than that yet as I'm not finished with it but it looks promising.

Does anyone one have good book recommendations (for an advanced programmer), for a book that while covering the basics, also has good advanced features?
