Hi,

How exactly are you publishing the documents, and how did you set it up?

It's hard to answer some of your questions without knowing the answer above.
I will try to answer some of your questions below:
a) FPSE (Frontpage Server Extensions) do not require WebDAV (or use WebDAV)
for publishing. FPSE publishing is handled via an ISAPI filter

b) Enabling WebDAV publishing invovles going into IIS Manager, and ticking
the "Write", and/or "Script Source Access" checkboxes on the "Home
Directory" tab

c) To control WebDAV publishing permissions, you would use NTFS permissions.
To control FPSE publishing depends on what version of FPSE you are using.
FPSE 2002 has a Sharepoint Administration Site (or similar) link in your
Admin Tools folder. You can give different groups permissions to do
different things.

Cheers
Ken

Cheers
Ken
