Drew--
If I read German! Ha! I just finished a four week German for Travelers class and couldn't get past how to pronounce the *ich* sound! I think I think I will be able to write server applications before I ever learn enough German to read the tutorials. :-) Thanks for the other links--I will check them out. Actually I use FrontPage but also have Go Live and used Dreamweaver at a previous job. So I have some familiarity with them all. They all have their quirks and I find the GoLive code more bloated and full of unnecessary tags than FP! Actually I just use FP for the forms handling and the preview ability. Most of what I do is directly in the source code. Same with DW and GL. If I were starting over I would take a difference approach. But I do like FPs ability to send email with the forms result without having to deal with CGI. Learning how to do forms handing without FP is on my to do list-- unfortunately that list just keeps growing. One of these days a client who isn't on a FP server will want a form and it will spring to the top of the list. Thanks for the info.
