The Good News

The good news about your FP Bots in Expression is that they will still work just fine after you upgrade.

The Bad News

The bad news is that Expression does not have any menus that allow you to automatically insert new FP bots.

It would be very nice to have someone code a hack that allows that menu to display at all times.

Maybe a plug-in that lets a user create the simple version of the search bot/form components, and then allows you to use the EW interface to actually modify the component.

Yes. I suspect that will be avialable sometime soon. You can actually modify these bots the same way you did no FP once the bot code is in there. Just double click on them in design view as before.

:) I was rather hoping we were going to see the end of bots.

Those are the only 2 I like, but I find them quite handy. I would miss them. I think this compromise of allowing them to work but not allowing them to be easily created is the only route MS could take.

Quite frankly me and about 8 of my websites that use the DRW wish that the DRW function would still have been available.
