MORE INFORMATION

When you try to programmatically access fpURLComponent objects by using the Microsoft Visual Basic editor in FrontPage 2003, you may experience unexpected results. Use the following information to help troubleshoot some of the issues that you may experience:

The password is not returned when you specify the fpURLComponentPassword object.

This behavior may occur if you specify the fpURLComponentPassword object but do not specify the fpURLComponentUserName object. To obtain the password, you must also obtain the user name.
An "at" symbol (@) is appended to a returned user name.

This behavior may occur if you specify the fpURLComponentUserName object but do not specify the fpURLComponentServer object. In this case, the @ symbol is appended to the returned user name or password.
A period (a dot) appears before the returned file name extension.

This behavior may occur if you specify the fpURLComponentPath and the fpURLComponentFileExtension objects but do not specify the fpURLComponentFileName object.

Note This result also occurs when you request only the fpURLComponentFileExtension object.

When you use the fpURLComponent object, the following considerations apply:

An @ symbol is appended to the end of returned user names and passwords.
A colon character (:) is inserted at the beginning of returned port numbers.
A period character (.) is inserted at the beginning of returned file extensions.
