Best way of doing an Article Archive?

[Anders Eriksson]

Hello!

I'm doing a site using FrontPage 2000 and on the frontpage I want to have
the latest article(s). I also want to save all articles in an archive and
maybe display them sorted on dates, subject, ...

Hopefully there will be a new article once a week (maybe twice)...

I don't have FP Extensions!

Any ideas on how to do this?

Look into ASP and database. You don't need FPE.

You store the articles in a web folder normally, and the article
details (filename, title, date, author, category etc) in the database.
Then you have an index page (index.asp) with ASP script to connect to
the database, grab the information and present it any way you want. The
same page creates the link to each article. Since the page is dynamic,
it is always update if you keep updating the database.
