I just want to do a FrontPage include page into an aspx page and I can't
seem to. I can't seem to find a solid answer as to whether it's possible in
fp 2003 or if there's some sort of trick or hack.
I think if VS was a little more user friendly the FrontPage users who are
really motivated will use it in tandem. It's what we've been doing with
photo editors and menu making utilities and the like for a while anyway.
Maybe I'm on the dense side (I can't seem to learn flash) but every time
I've opened VS it's like alien technology to me.
