I would like to insert some advanced polls on several pages on my site, however I'm using frontpage 2003 and don't know exactly how to go about it. I tried searching for a install guide, but didn't find one. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Thank you for your help, Grim

Does ur host have MySQL if ur using the MySQL version?
Does ur host have PHP?
Make sure ur page extension is *.php or see the thread about adding the poll to a non-php page using .htaccess file/s.
What code are u using to insert poll in ur pages?
Does frontpage require any special page extensions?

Frontpage does have special extentions. I am currently using phpBB and Coppermine so I know the server will run php scripts. Yes Acehost uses MySQL. I messed up my thaccess file trying to add the line you spoke of, but frontpage extetions alters it to look like this anyway.

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.companionsofvirtue.com
AuthUserFile /home/arabeta/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/arabeta/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

I cant upload a new htaccess because when I do I get a 500 error so I am running with out one.... everything on the site seems fine but I am no closer to using polls.
