SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to list a table of contents in newest to oldest order in the Discussion Web Wizard after you have installed the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions, the articles are posted in oldest to newest order instead.

For example, if you post three articles before you upgrade the FrontPage Server Extensions, they will be listed in newest to oldest order in the Tocproto.htm file. After you upgrade the FrontPage Server Extensions, the original articles retain their order, but new articles are posted in oldest to newest order, as shown in the following table.   Articles Posted Before                  Order of Articles After Upgrading Server Extensions            Upgrading Server Extensions and Three More Articles Posted --

3                                       4                2                                        5                1                                        6                                                         3                                                         2                                                         1



RESOLUTION
To prevent this behavior you must install the updated version of the FrontPage Server Extensions. Upgrading the extensions will not fix the existing posts, but will correct the order on posts published after the upgrade. For more information about obtaining and installing the FrontPage Server Extensions, please see the following Microsoft Web site:

This problem was corrected in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions, version 3.0.2.1330.
