Editing Text Files from within a FrontPage website

[Judith]

Is it possible to create, edit the contents of, or delete text files from a
website? I *thought I was experienced with every facet of FrontPage, but
have drained every brain cell trying to come up with a solution to this.

I'm redesigning a Frontpage site that has an applet utilizing the contents
of text files. The client wants his reps to be able to update file contents
online. As it is now, reps must call into the office & have text file
contents edited & republished. The editable contents will eventually be
integrated into a database, but not for some time. Looking for an interim
solution.

TIA

Hi Judith,

Yes it is possible using ASP and FSO to display the contents of a file on a web page, have the visitor edit it then save the file.
It is also possible to delete a file.
