Is it possible to use Frontpage 2003 with WAMP? Where can I get the
extension? Thanks

If you are referring to Apache running on Windows, then Yes, you can edit
the website with FP2003 as a disc-based web (open using C:\pathtoweb\).
There are *no* FP extensions for Apache on Windows, so run-time components
needing FP extensions will not work, nor will editing as a server-based web.
MySQL and PHP should not present any problems.

Why on earth would anyone run Apache on Windows?

MySQL and PHP are nothing to do with Frontpage extensions. If you want
to run PHP on Windows just make sure it's mapping is set on your web
server (for IIS this would be under "application mappings").

Windows XP Home and Windows ME do not support PWS or IIS. For testing
PHP and Perl/CGI scripts Apache is a good alternative for those OSs.

Hehe, I see what you mean, but surely no one in their right mind who
could write PHP/CGI would use "XP Home" or "Win ME"? What a horrible
thought:)

Although PWS isn't supported it can be installed on ME, as per this KB
article :
