Mark many thanks for your advice,
Forgive my ignorance. When you say "connect up directly" do you mean using
it as a "Remote Web site"? I can see your logic, however I'm on the learning
curve here with web publishing so if you've got time a little more detail
would be helpful.
Equally I would of thought there would be a resource out there saying
"deslect x, y and z" and then things should work!! Okay you'd expect the odd
problem with this approach, but these days I like to frontload my learning
with the obvious ones rather than create a complete mess later.
By the way my hosting company said to avoid FP 2003 and particularly
'themes' present a problem for them today with the people attempting to use
FP 2003 with their server setup. I know I can always dump my provider, but I
like them in other ways (this does not mean they are cheap). I figure they
are just a bit risk averse in upgrading which in my experience is no bad
thing.
