I've been corresponding with Microsoft on-line support for the past week and now will bring my question(s) to you folks.&nbsp;&nbsp;I have a site built in MS Frontpage 2000 and currently hosted on a Unix server with frontpage extensions(remote service).&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>I am trying to add searchable databases to the site and have generated an asp page with a search bar using the Database Results Wizard within Frontpage.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are a couple of problems I need to resolve.&nbsp;&nbsp;One is that some of the HTML coding is &quot;showing through&quot; the search bar portion of the page -- it is information I recognize being added by the wizard and looks like this:<br><br>LastName &quot; size=&quot;20&quot;&gt; <br><br>How can I make this invisible?<br><br>Secondly, I have not been able to get this page functional that is, submitting a search does nothing -- the biggest reason is that it is hosted on a unix server that does not support asp.&nbsp;&nbsp;The tech support people at our host assure me that changing to NT hosting would resolve the problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;What do any of you say?&nbsp;&nbsp;What, if any, are some other possible causes of the problem I've described?
 
I believe your tech support people are right.&nbsp;&nbsp;You need a Microsoft Internet Information Server in order to gain all the benefits of FrontPage 2000.&nbsp;&nbsp;Thats why many people do not like FP.&nbsp;&nbsp;I currently use FP 2000 right now but thinking about switching over to DreamWeaver Ultradev because I have heard it is more robust in connecting databases.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is just what I have heard so take it at face value.&nbsp;&nbsp;
