The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Sharepoint Enabled Website for FrontPage DataView Access

Asked by SeanNij in Microsoft IIS Web Server

Tags: dataview, sharepoint, frontpage, access

Hi all. Hope you are well.

Windows 2003 Standard Edition running Office Sharepoint Portal Server 2003.

I recently decided to setup a small web hosting server for particular clients, which thanks to EE help is running like a charm! (http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/IIS/Q_21054672.html)

However,

One of my client now want to make full use of FrontPage 2003, including the ability to Insert Data View. On consultation with MS it was pointed out the the server needs to be running Sharepoint Portal in order to do that. Okay, so after many $$$ for a licence I have it installed and running. Using the Wizard (IIS) and Administration tools in Sharepoint Central I can reletavily easily setup a SharePoint Site. All content provided by the wizard.

But, my client does not want a Sharepoint "Looking" site. They want to extend their sites functionality by including database access (mdb) and other bits and pieces, and in turn making use of FrontPage to do this!

My problem (finally ;-) is the following:

a) I cannot "surf" the site without being asked for Authentication (anonymous turned on - take off Windows - give me all sorts of 401.2 errors)
b) I dont want to have the default sharepoint content installed. (not an issue - can remove - i think - manually)

So, is their away of just enabling sharepoint services on a web site so that the client can make use of his FrontPage 2003 dataview? I've tried to include just the ISAPI sharepoint filter but this doesn't seem to work. I get the feeling this sharepoint thingy is really for "intranets"...

Any advice. Thanks
Sean
