Problem with changing from htm to asp?

Will Google still update my site?

I've had to change 80% of my site from .htm to .asp to allow serverside redirection because I do not support Netscape.

After a very long wait, I am now on Google.

My question: do I have to do anything or inform Google that a great chunk of my site has now changed. All the changes are well below the home page. My home page has always been default.asp - all the pages that have changed are in a sub folder i.e. default.asp/html/goodlinkshere.asp

The old path was: default.asp/html/goodlinkshere.htm

Any advice would be appreciated - thank you in advance
Stephen.

Nope it will be all picked up by google in 1 or 2 updates, a well laid out site map would help to ensure timely respidering of new pages and deletion of old. We did something similar and used

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.1">
<!--
location.replace("Applications.asp");
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<NOSCRIPT>
<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; URL=Applications.asp">
</NOSCRIPT>

to avoid losing traffic from html pages in the index and within one update google had picked up on the pages being removed and the .asp pages replaced the htm ones with no penalty for using a redirect. in time we deleted all the redirect pages
