Thanks for the replies. I have been doing more research and thinking about this some more. I can't change the .htaccess because I am on a Windows shared server. If I move to a dedicated server, I can set it to parse all .htm files.

I have decided that I do not want to use DW templates and libraries for the exact reason you mention - I am used to using SSI and I work on the site with two other people. It would be too much uploading and downloading for any small change to a template or library file (and I tend to change that stuff a lot).

So my options are to either rename all .htm to .asp (I have 1700 .htm pages and about 800 .asp pages now) and keep on the shared server. Or move to a dedicated server and not do the file renames.

I am not ready to do the move from FP yet (am redoing all my navigation), but should be in a month. I am leaning towards just renaming all the files and keeping on a shared server. Somehow that solution feels cleaner to me (probably for no reason) and we save the work of moving to the dedicated server (which we will probably have to do next year).

But I am still thinking about this and would appreciate any other comments.

This must happen to large sites frequently, for example if they change from ASP to .NET - all the file extensions change.
