Microshaft ONLY supports Access and that does not run on Linux boxes. Could
this be your problem?

AFAIK, the database functions in the FrontPage Extensions that are needed
are not included with Unix/Linux versions of the extensions.

I think your only choices are:
1. Tell him to find another provider who has Windows boxes.
2. Tell him Frontpages stinks as an authoring tool and to upgrade/switch to
Dreamweaver UltraDev if he want to do design and databases. (my $0.02)
