Sorry. Yes, I took a look at all of those links. Here is what I found.

1) If I browse to the website with IE and click on the Edit with Frontpage,
all it does is open a local copy of the page. If I try to save the page, it
only saves to my local computer.

2) Same thing happens if I try to use the run command for "frontpg.exe
http://oursite.com"

3) It is listed on recent webs part of FP and when I click that file, it
does nothing. No errors, but no logon prompts and not pages open. It remains
the default blank HTML page that you get when starting up FP. If I do this
for the other sites I mentioned I work on, it works fine. They pop up with
the logon screen.

4) We have asked IIS to check the extensions and we had it tighten the
security. Although, I was going to try this one more time as I saw it
mentioned elsewhere with this same problem.

5) The network is fine and up and running. No new passwords have been
created for anything related to the domain and servers.

6) I did have my shortcut arrows turned off. Turning them back on did not
help. Not that it matters, but I always opened FP through the Start menu.

7) The name capitalization doesn't seem to be a problem here. We use
lowercase.

This is bugging me to death. With the searching of this topic on the web, I
have never seen a resolution. They always say to consult the admin and have
them fix it. Well, I am the admin and I don't know how to fix it. :)

Thanks,
Richard
