I have created a page in FrontPage which I want to transfer to Codecharge and then add a login to a part of the layout. (the page has been divided up into segments, for placement of different types of information...eg menu, main, javascript advertising ) is this possible??
I have tried cutting and pasting but it all comes out a mess.
If anyone knows te correct way to do this..or even a cheap and nasty way..please enlighten me...my site would improve by 10fold..thx

You need to use or should use the header and footers in CodeCharge. If you click on HTML on the bottom of the CodeCharge window you can edit the html. You need to be wary of the already existing code from CodeCharge and add your html as appropriate.
I played with mine and of course customized the header and footer.
Hope this helps you

I’m taking a chance here, but I assume you are using CodeCharge and not CodeCharge Studio. Code Charge Studio is an addin for FrontPage so you can develop Code Charge Studio pages in FrontPage.
If I understand your question correctly and you are using CC and not CCS, then here’s the approach I would take and used with success.
First create the page in CC with all the forms you will be using in the page. I highly recommend the use of tables for positioning and location of your forms in the page. Now save the page and close the CC project.
Now start FrontPage and open the .html page just created with CC. You can now edit and add; Themes, Web Components, Shared Boarders, etc. Now save the page in FrontPage. Oh, I also recommend that you momentarily turn on the “Reveal Tags” in the View menu of FrontPage to help make sure when your moving things around in FrontPage you don’t mess up the Tags that CC added. What’s nice about editing the forms in the .html with FrontPage is you can change the layout of the form better utilizing the tables.
Now open CC and the project with the page you just edited with FP and publish it (Generate Code). If all went well you should now see the changes you made to the .html page with FrontPage and all your forms should still be working, that is if you didn’t mess up any of the Tags.
That’s all I can think of at this time that might help you.
Good Luck

Using CodeCharge FrontPage add-in
Open FrontPage, select CodeCharge from the menu and open your project or create a new one.
Create a new page using CCS’s “Project Explorer”. Under CCS Project Explorer right click on “Pages” and select “New Page”. Now another menu will appear asking you for a name and if you want a Blank page or use a Project Builder. Let’s say you select Blank Page. Now your FrontPage will have a New Blank Page ready to use with CodeCharge.
From here you can use the FrontPage and CCS controls to add Tables, Shared Borders, etc. So you add tables to the page to organize your content. In one of the Table’s cell you want to add a CCS Grid to display data. Click in the cell you want the Grid, this places your cursor in that cell. Now from the men select ether one of the CCS’s Form Builders or Forms and run through their menus. When you are finished the Form will be in the Grid where you placed you cursor.
This is some of the basics steps using CCS add-in for FrontPage. I hope some of this information will help.

Not sure if this applies to CCS, but in CC if your html is modified and you modify some of the results like adding another field from the table, then publish the site the html is overwritten loosing all your customization.
I do keep a working vopy -vs- test copy to get around this problem, but then when I add fields lets say to the page, I have to manually add that information into the html template.

I guess I don’t understand your problem.
With CC you are correct but when you installed CCS you are given an option to install CCS as an Add-In to FrontPage. If you did this, you will now have “CodeCharge” appear in FrontPage’s top bar menu. It is from here in FrontPage that you launch CodeCharge which now is part of FrontPage. This means, when you have a grid open in the editor you can add a new column and field similar as if you were running CCS by itself.

Lets say.....just for example I had designed this site In Front Page or some other html editor.
Lets say.....everything on this Home Page was already designed in html EXCEPT for the center where the Database fields select your state are.
I now want to use this page In Codecharge and add the Database fields.
How can I open the page Ive designed in CCS and then add the Database fields.
Its real strange..Ive completed a number of sites which are exclusively data driven...but cant seem to grasp the concept of adding outside html.
Am I missing something...Again thanx for all your help so far

OK, use what ever editor you like creating the .html page. Let’s call is_dept.html. Now copy is-dept.html to your CCS project’s directory. With CCS open to the project you just copied is_dept.html create a new page and name it is_dept. CCS will prompt regarding the file is_dept.html already exist and do you want to reuse? Select reuse. You now should be able to add/modify grids and records.
I have found it better to create any html pages directly in the CCS project directory. This way all the links and images will be maintained.
This should work, give it a try.

Here's another way if you use an editor than can show html code. Copy the entire page html code. In CCS create a page and go to html view. ctrl-A then ctrl-v and your done.
