DRW, erasing the customization for the page

A

Al

I'm trying to create a page from that use's a access database results which
the search criteria needs to be modified every week, but everytime that I'm
doing that it's erasing my fields display format. In FP 2002 would ask me if
I want to generate the area or not, but in 2003 is just doing it. There's any
option in FP 2003 to prevent erasing my customization?

Hi Stephen,
I didn't do anything in the HTML view. Let me explain. I'm using the wizard
to modify the criteria in the database to filter the data that I want to
display. In FP 2002, at the end of the wizard, a box would pop up asking me
if I want to regenerate the display area and would answer NO for that. As a
result, my criteria would change, but my design (font type and size)
wouldn't. In FP2003 this pop up come at the beginning and it's not a
question, but an info telling me that the Wizard will re-generate my display
area. I need to know if there's any way to stop this or, in another words, go
back to the FP2002 "style".

Hi Al:
To expand on Stephen's question/answer, open the page in FrontPage, switch
to Code (using the tab at the bottom of your FP workspace), find your query
in the gray-colored code - it begins with s-sql="SELECT Make your criteria
change to the gray-colored code and save your change while you're still in
Code view. This allows you to make this change without touching or
destroying the page formatting.

Hi Kathleen,
I know that I can change that by modifying the code, but I was looking for a
way to do it through the wizard.
Thanks, anyway, Al.
