I’m using WebFocus Developer Studio 4.3.6 and use Microsoft Front Page to “publish” launch pages. We are getting Office 2007 in August.
Will I be able to use Office 2007 Expression Web to publish launch pages? If not, what other method is used for publishing launch pages?

Also, output is currently
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K,
do I have to select another output format for report to open in Excel 2007?

You mean, J, that you are using front page and using the 'create webfocus forms' ?
If so, that integration went bye bye a long time ago. its just too difficult to keep that going. and old front page writes HTML that is largely deprecated anyway, or so Microsoft told me yesterday. sigh.
In Devstu now, you can use the HTML Layout Painter to create launch pages.
You can always open your html pages that you start to create using Expressions and make them gorgeous ; i'll have to bite the bullet as well, i'm a huge front page 2003 fan, and i'll hate to go to Exp.
As Prarie says, you really need to consider an upgrade of your DevStu, the newer focus engines have so much cool stuff. I know 436 was a really stable version, so i feel your pain.

Hi Susannah and Prarie,
I have a case open with IBI on our WF7.1 install. But we're still using 5.2 in Production.

I'll try opening the prodution html files in HTML Layout Painter in DevStudio 711.
Thanks

the worst case scenario...output to .csv files?

You should be fine, I haven't seen any advantage of excel 2007 whatsoever, but that's just me. I'd keep a copy of office 2003 on my machine if I were installing office 2007.
