Basic items/functions to avoid, in any version of FP:

1. The drawing tools, Java applets (hover buttons and banner ad manager).

2. Avoid working within the site folder via Windows Explorer or any other application.

3. Do not use FTP to upload content to a server that has the FP Extensions, unless you understand
the impact of doing so.

Things you should do:

1. Always open a site before working on your content (File Menu | Open Site).

2. Always import all external content (images, files for download, etc.) into the current open site
before using (File Menu | Import or drag-n-drop)

3. Get a web host that support the FP 2002 extensions, and try to avoid the free/low cost hosting
services, if planning to building a commercial/business web site.

4. Get a Window IIS web host, if you think you will want to work with Access and ASP or ASP.net.

5. Visit here often and ask questions, but be sure to provide as much detail as possible, and when
possible publish your work where you can then provide a URL so that we can see what you are trying
to accomplish or having problems with, etc.
