I love editing web pages using FrontPage directly from Internet Explorer. However doing it this way can cause concurrent editing problems, as it doesn’t recognise which user is making the changes. You can see that the the “saved to the server by …” field is blank. You don’t get this problem if you open the file in FrontPage from Windows Explorer directly. Unfortunately there is no work-around to this bug.
