texte = Gwen, MS Personal Web Server works great for WebCatalog. With FrontPage 2000 I am not sure if it will install PWS as a default but earlier versions of FP did. When PWS is installed it will take the name of your computer (you find this in NetWork Neighborhood properties -right mouse click to get there) then click on the TAB for identification. This is how PWS will identify your website. The URL will be something like http://yourcomputername . To make sure that PWS is set up correctly you can double click the PWS icon found in your Systray (lower right corner), this will bring you to the Personal Web Manager. You should then see a hyperlink the same as the one above http://yourcomputername. Clicking on this will bring you to a default page titled Welcome to Microsoft® Personal Web Server 4.0 . If you get this page you are ready to install WebCatalog.1) Before installing WebCatalog make sure you stop your PWS service by right mouse clicking in t he PWS icon in the Systray then click on Stop Service. 2) Install WebCatalog choosing the default directories (also choose PWS as your Website software). 3) After installing WebCatalog you can restart your PWS. To access .tpl pages you must start your WebCatalog server by clicking on Start/Programs/WebCatalog then choose Run as Stand Alone. 4) To access the TeaRoom open your browser. Then type in the address http://yourcomputername/webcatalog/index.htm . This will give you access to everything you need to begin learning the program.Hope this helps - Craig To better serve the needs of our customers we have consolidated our e-mail support to be handled through one address.
