What's the point of including a CD with sample files to use while working through the book, if all the files you need are not included?!?

teach yourself frontpage 2000 in 21 days ssbn 0672314991 This particular book/cdrom combo stinks. beginning with page 11 the entire chapter refered to does not exist on the cd. I have never seen such a poor job of publishing in my entire life. For 33.50,Sam's should be ashamed. I have seen comic books with more referential integrity. Its funny but when I tried to post this to Sams "contact us" site the application failed. The web maven probably used this book.

as the other reviewers have already pointed out, the sample files on the CD don't exist for the very first exercise in the book! I did manage to download them from MacMillan's website but even then they didn't matcn the text. My partner was using this book to teach herself to use FrontPage, but needed my help because of the poor quality of the samples. She couldn't get past day one. Don't buy this book!

A very poor book, I returned after the first day. You will guarantee yourself loads of frustration if you buy this.

This book is poorly written, poorly supported and does NOT contain the sample files needed to complete the tutorials. It is a complete waste of time and money. I also attempted to write Sam's about the poor quality of the product and received an error message. I'll think twice about buying another product from this publisher.

The CD in the book does not contain all the sample chapters mentioned in the book. Those chapters did not contained can be found... Just go into it and click the "Frontpage2000" book cover and you can see a download section appear on your screen. The download files contained all the sample chapters you need! If you ask me what the hell is going on of that book, I cannot give you an answer. Perhaps the Sams Publishing got some mistakes..., however, this book is a quite good instruction to the beginners of the Frontpage 2000, whether he or she has any experience using Frontpage series products.

I did use to recommend many people to buy only SAMS series books but now after reading this one I don't think I am going too.

This is the worst book I have ever read for FrontPage. Nothing is working, I mean the Samples are not is CD, and the author never replies. Please Please find some other book for Front Page learning not this one.

Database conectivity is covered the wrong way or it is not going to be wrong to say that it is Pathetic, it confuses all your concepts there.

This book is excellent for beginners. It goes step-by-step, including every detail you want to know about FrontPage. It is very well written and organized, and easy to follow.
The only thing that was a negative for me, is that some of the examples, talked about in the book, can not be find on the CD....so that was quite frustrating at first. But then again, you dont really need those.

All I can say about the book is that I can't beleieve that this book is by Sams Series. Cause I used to tell every one to buy Sams series cause they are just Great.

This book has not many but too many holes, they have started many things and without giving solutions shifted to new thing and then leaving the other one incomplete too.

The Cd works but there is nothing in it that you can say it is worth. I mean there are many things missing that have been mentioned in book that they are there.

Buying this book is going to be wasting money and nothing much more, so find some other one for Frontpage.
