The website (thank you for finding it - it's a gem) was created using Microsoft Publisher 2003 with the Frontpage 2002 Server Extensions. Even though Wikipedia says there was no Frontpage version 5, it is not totally correct.

Microsoft BackOffice Server is a discontinued computer software package featuring Windows NT Server and other Microsoft server products that ran on NT Server. It was marketed during the 1990s and early 2000s for use in branch operations and for small businesses to run their back office operations. The small business edition of BackOffice Server was released for versions 4.0 and 4.5. In 2000 it was spun off from the 'BackOffice' brand, becoming a variant of Windows Server branded as Windows Small Business Server. BackOffice Server itself was discontinued on October 1, 2001.

I have a customer who publishes her web site with FrontPage 2002. We just took over hosting her web site.
In the past she's been in the habit of opening up the page she wants to edit with Internet Explorer (6.0) and clicking on File, and then Edit with Microsoft FrontPage.
Lately the Edit with Microsoft FrontPage has been greyed out (doesn't work). It's greyed out even when she looks at other web sites. When I look at one of her web pages, the option is available to me (ditto when I look at just about any other web page).
She can still open her web site/page directly with FrontPage and edit/publish her web pages and web site. But she would rather use IE's Edit with Microsoft FrontPage option.
I've searched the web and haven't found much. I found a reference to changing the expiration time in IIS 5.0 on our end and tried that, but it didn't work. I had her put the 'Edit' button on her IE toolbar, but that's disabled to. FrontPage is set as her default HTML editor in IE.
I would appreciate any help anyone has.
Oh yeah, her OS is Win2k.
Thank you.
