Hi:
I just subscribed to this list this week, and haven't seen any traffic, so I
apologize if this is not the right list to ask.
I have been running FrontPage 2000 and PWS 4.0 for a while, and just got up
the nerve to install a copy of HomeSite 4.5 that I bought a while ago but
never took out of the box.
I have followed the procedure on the Allaire site to set up server mapping,
but I still have some questions about how this is supposed to work.
When I open HomeSite and select "open from Web" and open
http://localhost/mywebname
it opens the web, but displays all the pages (.asp, .htm and .css) as
temporary pages in C:\windows\temp\FrontPageTempDir
Since it has 'renamed' all the files to be temporary, none of my images show
up, and the external style sheet does not get applied.

I think this is a case of which comes first, the chicken or the egg.
Do I open FP2K, and then open a page in Homesite?
Or do I open HomeSite first, and then open the page I want to work on? Do I
open that page using 'open from web' or do I navigate to
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebname?
