Using FrontPage & Access 2000 to Develop Online Data Forms 

Knowing Your PWS Environment 

Once installed, PWS appears as a small icon in your task tray.   

By double clicking on the icon, you start Personal Web Manager, which you can use to 

administer your Web pages (Welcome to join the Web Master club).   

By default, your personal Web site s name is your computer s name. To find out what your 

computer name is, on your desktop, right click on Network Neighborhood => Properties 

=> Identification. Your computer name, assigned automatically, is there. If you change 

anything, you will be asked to restart your computer.  Click cancel to exit. 

Another way to change your computer ID is to use the control panel:

).  In our case, the server assumes the 

computer name, which is 

jing

.

When you test your published Web pages, you will be using your server s URL, not the 

physical location of the files.  In our example, our sever URL is: 

http://jing/[directory]/[PageName.asp] 

and the physical location of the 

file is 

c:\inetput\wwwroot\[directory]\[PageName.asp]

From Window Explorer, you may see four subdirectories under 

c:\inetpub

: You ll find two directories under here.  The first is Default: This 

holds a default home page, which is where you ll be directed if you type in the name 

of your Web server as a URL.

: This is an empty directory, which is a useful place to store any ASP 

scripts you might create 

WebPub

: This is also empty.  This is a "special" virtual director, used for publishing 

files via the Publishing wizard.
