Starting my first aps files

[mandi]

I used to work for many years with fp2000 and always with htm files. Now I
want to start using aps and apsx files also. Is it possible with fp2000.
I want the home page to be aps, do I have to delet index.htm which is my
home page right now or can they coexist?

They can coexist but only 1 can be your primary home page
- based on your host server setup

Normal practice is to not mix them

Hi Mandi,

First, I would not use FP2K to write and / or edit ASP files it would at times "hose" the file. FP2K2 and FP2K3 both work with ASP
files without the problems that are in FP2K. FP2K3 creates ASP.Net 1.1 files for some of its data functionality.

Second, why do ASP when you can start with ASP.Net 2.0 it is a much better environment to create dynamic appliactions. I would not
spend time learning something that has a short life expectancy.

You may mix htm, html, asp, and aspx files however ASP and ASPX use two different contexts so the processing must be total contained
with in each context, i.e., you can't have a session var in ASP and expect to reference it in ASPX.

Use the defacto standard for the home page for ASP is default.asp. Both may exist but only one other the other will be the default
depending upon how the site is configured. Check with your ISP / WPP.
