Thanks for your help. I created the new site in IIS and attempted to
publish to it but did not succeed. Frontpage can't find the url.
Providing that I create a website using IIS and then copy the files
over as you suggest, where do I modify the properties as you suggest?

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
