Hey I need help in front page, I placed a counter, and the customer does not want it to start at zero, how do I accomplish that?

I've tried everything.

I am using FrontPage 2000 for my little website builds, and here is what they say about counters:

*************************
Add a hit counter to a page

Microsoft FrontPage provides several styles of counters, but you can supply your own number graphics by creating a custom picture in GIF format. The picture must include numbers 0 to 9, evenly spaced.
Note A hit counter works only for pages in a web, and requires your Web server to run the FrontPage Server Extensions.

In Page view, position the insertion point where you want to place the hit counter.
On the Insert menu, point to Component, and then click Hit Counter.

Under Counter Style, click the type of hit counter you want to use. If you click Custom Picture, type the relative location of the GIF file, for example Images/Custom.gif.

To set the counter to a specific number, select the Reset counter to box, and then type the number.

To display a fixed number of digits in the hit counter, select the Fixed number of digits box, and then type the number.

For example, to display 005 rather than 5, select this option and type 3.

[HitCounter] is displayed on the page as a placeholder for the hit counter. To see how the hit counter will appear to site visitors, click the Preview tab, or preview the page in a Web browser

*************

Let me know if that helps.

if i remember correctly, in frontpage, you can set it to begin at a specific number, right? just either ask them what # they want, or get the traffic facts about the site, and insert a # that is close enough to fact. you could tell them that you synced the data.

Thanks ISO, and fatman too.
I tried all that already, and it wouldnt allow me to start at any other number than zero, and it wasnt worth the effort of putting in more time to fix, so I went to Free Web Counter - Free Hit Counters for your Web Site
and used theres. The customer will never know.
Peace
