[Ham-Computers] Front Page 2003

[Marty]

I went to Dreamweaver from FP200/2003 (both in XP). Actually, I didn't know
how serious the problems were with FP until I started polling website
viewers. When I started to realize that everyone was not seeing the same
layouts that I was, I made a concerted effort to view the pages on several
computers other than my own. Sure enough, everyone was seeing something
different depending on their systems and setups. Dreamweaver seems to be
intelligent enough to have solved that problem. The major problem I have now
is with pages I imported from FP. Even Dreamweaver can't fix them. The other
problem I have is messing the pages up by my own stupidity. Thankfully, I've
been able to recover from my errors and even stumble into making
improvements ;)

This thread is of interest so I think I will ask of question or two.  I hope
others with a similar interest will also join the thread.

I'm neither pro nor con with respect to Microsoft.  May be best player win!
However, as on old dBase IV user I know that the exact same, raw database
written in dBase IV without indices and bells and whistles has a file size
ten times smaller than the equivalent Access97 file size.  This fact of life
I assume is caused by GUI versus MS-DOS 5.

Someone remarked that FP tended to add things to the code, so they stopped
using it before they started.  That interests me, and may be a clue.  What
things are added?  How would I be able to tell they were added?

Dreamweaver has been touted as "better" than FP, whatever than means.  But
those who are now commencing their Vista experience find many issues when
they attempt to use those two.  Anyone have experience in using FP or
Dreamweaver with XP for those of us who have no plan now to leave that OS?
