I was just reading through the FP 2003 Faq and came across this:

 
I've heard that there are no FrontPage 2003 Server Extensions. Is that true?
A. Microsoft has continued to make investments in FrontPage 2003 to enhance the overall customer experience, based on customer feedback and the changing role of server extensions in our overall product offerings. As we examined our options, it became clear that the best solution was to create a new and radically more powerful server story—Windows SharePoint™ Services—and eliminate the need for server extensions beginning with FrontPage 2003. Today, the optimal combination for FrontPage is to use FrontPage 2003 in combination with Windows SharePoint Services. This allows you to access the entire set of new functionality in FrontPage 2003, along with improvement to the way you did things in FrontPage 2002 and other previous versions of FrontPage. For more information about these changes, see FrontPage server configuration options and features.



Do LP's servers support this new version of FP that doesn't use extensions?

Thanks

In the absence of SharePoint Services, FrontPage 2003 continues to require and use the FrontPage 2002 server extensions for those features that require server extensions. FrontPage 2003 also includes several new editing and publishing features that make creating and publish easier, even when using the FrontPage 2002 extensions.

So I believe the answer is that LunarPages supports FrontPage 2003 using the FrontPage 2002 server extensions. The advanced features that require SharePoint services would not be available.

This page may answer more questions.

The chart on this page shows which features are available with which server configurations. LunarPages would be the column for "With Server Extensions for FrontPage 2002".

I have been using 2003 with no problems. Obviously the Sharepoint services don't work, but we have no need for that anyway at this time.
