If you use Microsoft FrontPage to design your Web site, you should use your account management control panel to activate the FrontPage server extensions for your account.
The FrontPage server extensions are what actually make the special FrontPage features work: if you don't activate them for your account, FrontPage features such as the hit counter and feedback forms will not work properly. If you choose not to activate the FrontPage server extensions, you will lose several capabilities of FrontPage, although other features will still work, and you can still use FrontPage to upload files to your Web site via FTP. (For example, Microsoft provides instructions on how to upload files using FrontPage 2003.)
To activate FrontPage Server Extensions:
After you activate the FrontPage Server Extensions, be sure to read the final page — it explains how to publish your files from within FrontPage. In particular, you should not use FTP to publish files for a site that uses FrontPage server extensions, because it can damage the server extensions.
If you previously activated FrontPage Server Extensions, but you're no longer using FrontPage, please contact us and ask to disable the server extensions for your site. This will make sure you can use FTP to publish your files without seeing warning messages.
