Hi John, I don't have experience with this, but I would predict possible issues using both FP and EW. MS says that EW is a successor, not an upgrade from FP. They also state that while FP was rather loose with web site standards, EW follows standards strictly. I'm not a web developer so I'm not familiar with web site standards, but I'm sure to a developer being able to count on them is important! I got a copy of Que's Special Edition - Using Expression Web, by Jim Cheshire, and it seems thorough to me. BOL!

I have a situation where I have a (client) web site and one of the users who has a sub site wants to buy a new computer with Vista on it. From what I can find FP 2003 has some major issues running on Vista. So right now I'm not saying she can use Expression Web for the sub site because I haven't had a chance to test the results of this kind of interaction. The main site and the sub site's should be totally independent of each other and the sub site admins should be able to use whatever they want to maintain their sub site. (I don't allow the person who maintains the main site to edit on the sub sites at all (politics at its finest.) Up to this point everything has worked well by requiring them to use FP 2003 so I'm a bit leery of this changing anything until its been proven to work.
