All, I hope I've got the right group of people, so my apologies if I haven't
or if this is not appropriate....

I use FrontPage for a company intranet in the most basic way at the moment.
My company wants the site completely modernised and made more interactive.
I've checked the MS website for FP information and it doesn't tell me any of
the specific info I need, so I thought I'd check with current users to see
if you think that FP is the right product for the job..... here's what we
need:

Something that can be change controlled (we currently use MS Sourcesafe
here, so if it works with that great)
A site that has one person in charge of publishing but with several
individuals who are responsible for updating the data in separate parts of
the site and sending to the web master for publishing (therefore we need the
ability to only give editor rights to certain people for certain areas)
The ability to password protect specific areas
Easy search facility, which includes document searches
Supports database use(sourcesafe & access mainly)
For the individuals who will update their own part of the site, the
programme needs to be easy to use and should not require programming
ability, even for connecting to dbs
Compatible with Lotus Notes email
Ability to control templates and format centrally
Expiry dates supported with automatic removal of out of date items

FYI, if we go this way then we'd obviously buy the latest version of FP and
we have Windows XP.

I look forward to your opinions!

Thanks in advance
Julia
