SUMMARY

In FrontPage 2000, errors relating to Visual SourceSafe integration are not automatically logged in the Event Viewer. For troubleshooting purposes, you may want to enable this capability by editing the registry.


MORE INFORMATION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

  1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).


  2. Locate the following key in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\All Ports


  3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:


    4. Value Name: LogInitialSourceControlErrors
    Data Type: REG_SZ

NOTE: All errors logged by FrontPage regarding SourceSafe integration are logged at the server-end of the transaction. On a Windows NT system, the errors are logged in the Windows NT Event Viewer Application log. On a computer running Windows 95 or Windows 98, the errors are logged in the Frontpg.log file, which is located in the root of the drive where Windows is installed. The errors are not logged to the client computer.
