Track Changes and Populating Website

[zoser]

I need two different things:

1) Is there any way to track changes to html files in FrontPage?

2) How would I use an access database to populate a web page?

If by "tracking changes", you mean to show all the different changes that you have made on a page design, the only way I know of is to save each page with a different, sequential name. I have done that on several sites I maintain, with dates for the pages.
On the Access database.. First, be sure you have your FP manual handy, and then click on insert, database, results, and choose the one you want to use. FP will then walk you through the steps on selecting the fields from the database.
you can make it do what you want, or let the visitor choose what they want to see. Just follow the instructions, VERY CAREFULLY.

Thanks for the advice, but what is an FP manual?

I think I found a solution for my other problem. A client wants to be able to know whether her staff made updates to the site and when. I found some information for her about assigning files and that type of thing. Sorry wasn't real clear with the question. I was in a hurry.

Thanks again.

fp is short for "front page"
manual is the document that tells you how to use fp Anywhere is walking distance if you have the time.
