Hi I went through the steps a few days ago to get a guestbook set up on my genealogy web page located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcampob/ . I believe my code is 1715 if I have read the html correctly. I use Front page express to develop all my pages. I also use ws_ftp to load the pages. I have tried "cutting and pasting" the html code to my index page as instructed on the main page when I signed up. This does not work for some reason. I then went into "file manager" as suggested in a previous posting on the guestbook help board, and tried it and keep getting an error message "not enough memory available to complete this operation. Quit one or more applications to increase available memory and try again". I have tried this as well shutting down all applications with the exception of the file manager and still it will not work. I have contacted Joan at the Guestbook help desk and she suggested that I shut down my computer and restart it and go into file manager and try again. I have done this and still no luck. I have also tried to put in the info by hand instead of the cut and past method but still get the same error message... not enough memory etc. I only get as far as: <a name="guestbook".</a><form m Joan is at a loss as to why I can't get the html coding onto my index page... and suggested I try this list. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong by chance?? Thanks!!

When cutting and pasting HTML code into pages within FrontPage, be sure that you're in the HTML view and not in the usual WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing page. I use FrontPage 2000, not Express, and I get to the HTML view by clicking a tab on the bottom of the panel. I'm sure there's an equivalent way to do this in Express, but I can't tell you how to do it. >I then went into "file manager" as suggested > in a previous posting on the guestbook help board, and tried it and > keep getting an error message "not enough memory available to complete > this operation.

Not a Guestbook error - but something in the way the FileManager interacts with your computer when editing a page. I suspect that the problem may be to the current size of your index.htm(l) page. The FileManager runs into problems with big files -- particularly when you are running Netscape Navigator as your browser. Or, the problem could be in having a large piece of text in the system clipboard. At any rate, try this: 1) Take all the sample HTML which you were given for your Guestbook and put it on a separate web page. If you find out how to put FrontPage Express into HTML-edit mode, then you can use it. You can also just paste the HTML code into a text document created with WordPad and then save it with a .htm or .html extension. 2) Now, open your index page in FrontPage Express and create a new link to the page on which you put your Guestbook code. For an example of this way of implementing the Guestbook, see the pages at the RootsWeb HomeSchooling location -- http://education.rootsweb.com/~homeschooling/index.html is the home/index page and the guestbook form is at http://education.rootsweb.com/~homeschooling/feedback.html Regards, Elsi Regards, Elsi
