Hi Pete,

Nothing incompatible here, except your understanding:

Subwebs don't only keep track of permissions. They are also web
applications. That means that each Subweb has its own application memory
space and doesn't share memory with any other Subweb or with the Root web.
So, the first thing you should know is, you can't spread one ASP.Net
application across Subwebs. You have to write a separate project for each
Subweb, and the root web.

Secondly, you didn't specify what program you're using to create your new
ASPX files, but I would recommend using Visual Studio.Net. You can edit the
files in any program you like, but VS.Net will keep track of what files you
add. On the other hand, you can click the "Show All Files" icon in tyhe
Solution Explorer to see any files in a Project folder that are not part of
the Project. Right-click the file and select "Add to Project" to add it to
the Project.
