I need help with several aspects of sharepoint. I have posted similar questions aroudn the net before and have yet to receive any reply on my concerns. I knew frontpage was considered the sharpeoint kiss of death before I began designing my sites but I didn't have anything better to work with so I developed my sites using frontpage and now I need to know how to fix frontpage's negative effects on my sharepoint sites.

1 FRONTPAGE LINK CORRUPTION
In any of the document libraries, whose root site was edited with sharpeoint, when i click the "Upload Document" button
I get sent to an address similar to the following:

This address doesn't exist so I get a page not found error

If I edit the URL in the address bar and remove everything after
then the
upload page comes up fine.

Also if I click "edit properties" in any of my image libraries (once again on all sites whose root page was edited with frontpage ) I goget sent to Once again, if I remove the garbage off the end of the link in the address
bar I can get to
I've tried editing the links on the site and if I hover over them in IE or
firefox it shows the correct address, but once I click on it I still get sent
to the first address.

I followed the methods to edit sharepoint sites in frontpage according to
some microsoft articles I found. Where do I have to set the URL so that it
goes to the proper upload URL.

I've checked and even though my upload site is upload.aspx, not upoload.htm I took a look
and they apear as they should.

This is only occuring on sites modified by frontpage. Sites created that I haven't yet touched with frontpage work fine. I'm guessing Frontpage changes the code somewhere, but where?

2 FRONTPAGE DOESN"T PROPERLY SUPPORT FORMATTING OF SHAREPOINT DATA VIEWS AND WEB PARTS
I have a data view that lists fields from an access database table. The
fields I'm intested in are hyperlinks to images stored in a picture library
on my sharpeoint site. I have right-clicked on these hyperlinks in frontpage
and selected format as a picture.

These are, however, very large pictures and I would like them to appear as
thumbnails. So here is where I right-click on one of them and select
auto-thumbnail. This is basically what I want.

The problem with this is that when I auto thumbnail the images in thsi web part, it auto-thumbnails all
images with the same thumbnail image, not seperate thumbnail images for each image. Changing the properties or hyperlink on one image
affects the rest of the images. If I don't auto thumbnail the images the individual images appear when I filter through the webpart (I have web part connections set up) but if I resize or change any properties on any of the images they all change to the same image, just likte the thumbnails

Is there any way to get frontpage to properly support formatting of sharepoint data views/web parts?
