I have tried AOL, Tripod, and Angelfire with no luck. I get extention errors, ULR errors and a few other errors. I have been tring for 4 days stright does anyone have an easy solution to uploading pages.
 
I can't tell from your message what you're doing.&nbsp;&nbsp;Are you trying to load the web page by using Front Page's publish function?&nbsp;&nbsp;That might be the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm on Geocities, and they only recently have set things up so you can load from Front Page.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll bet that the web sites you listed haven't upgraded their software to do that.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try loading the page using their software and see if that works.<br><br> <p>Linda Adams<br><a href=mailto:Garridon@aol.com>Garridon@aol.com</a><br><a href= Adams Online</a><br>I'm a professional writer, published internationally.
 
You need to have Front-page extensions activated in order to upload through front-page.&nbsp;&nbsp;I know that Tripod has front-page extensions, but you probably have to request that they be turned ON.&nbsp;&nbsp;Go to the tripod homepage and search &quot;front-page&quot; or make a customer service inquiry.&nbsp;&nbsp;I don't believe angelfire or aol has front-page extensions.&nbsp;&nbsp;The other option is to upload your file using FTP if the server doesn't have front-page extensions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Refer to your manual for more details, but simply, you publish web, and type in ftp:// in place of http:// followed by your pathname (<A HREF=" TARGET="_new"> will publish without extensions, so some features won't work (like forms).
 
I have found that when using AOL to upload/publish pages, I have the most success by first going to &quot;Windows Explorer&quot; and then going to my Frontpage files and highlighting the ones I want to publish, click on &quot;File&quot; and then &quot;Send To&quot; and then I use &quot;Web Publishing Wizard&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Works every time!&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
I have found that to &quot;Publish&quot; using Front Page to an AOL web site, first you need to log on to the AOL screen name you are publishing to.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then minimize AOL to view the desktop.&nbsp;&nbsp;Launch Front Page and allow Front Page to use AOL's Access.&nbsp;&nbsp;When publishing use anonymous for a logon and the screen name for a password.&nbsp;&nbsp;You should be able to access the AOL area to publish the web page.
