Define "harm".

You you add any FP2003 features to you site, your old
version of FrontPage may misinterpret them. So, for the
trial, I'd recommend working on a second copy of the site,
which you plan to throw away.

BTW, don't install the trial "over" your existing version
of FrontPage; instead, during setup, elect to keep both
versions installed.

FP2003 is a much bigger upgrade than, say, FP2002 over
FP2000. There's really something for everyone. For more

Based on the plethora of problems I am having trying to update my web site with 2003 (the site was designed in 2000), I would recommend NOT getting this product! Many bugs in it.

My sites were originally designed in FP 1.1, then FP 97, then FP 98, then FP
2000 (skipped FP 2002) then FP 2003.

I have not had any problems when upgrading product, and changing existing
web sites...for years and years.

Why don't you list the plethora of problems you are having, with details.
And, would you also list the bugs you are talking about.

Thanks.

No problems here with 2003 and sites designed with FP98.!!
Actually I have 2002 and 2003 installed and have had the same site opened in both at the same time
and didn't have problems.
