Why is my FrontPage counter not incrementing ?
A FrontPage counter is implemented by creating a small file at the server with the current count. That file has to be initialized with the correct permissions such that when web visitors visit your page, the count is incremented. Remember that normally web visitors can not write on files on your web site. If the counter file is copied from your PC using the "Publish" option, it will not be created with the correct permissions.

To initialize the counter, open your website at the server using FrontPage. Go to the page where you need to have a counter and right-click the mouse at the [Hit Counter] location. Mark the "Reset counter to" checkbox and enter the desired initial value. The counter will be initialized when you save the page. This needs to be done only once for each page where you have a counter. It does not need to be repeated if you republish the page in the future (as long as you use the same filename).
