Anyone have an example of Scheduled Include that works?

Does anyone have an example of a page or Web with a working Scheduled
Include Page Component? I am trying to use one in a FrontPage Web, and
it works fine in Preview, but not on the live Web site.

My Web host can't seem to figure out why it doesn't work, and keeps
"escalating" the problem into the ether, and I eventually have to
re-start the trouble ticket process again.

If I can find someone who has the scheduled include webbot working,
maybe I can learn from what they've done.

What exactly is the problem?

* I am working directly on the live site via FP2002 (that is, I'm not
working on a local copy of the FP Web, I've opened
http://www.mysite.com in FP2002 and am working on that).
* I insert a Scheduled Include into a file that, for the purpose of
testing this, is set to start 1/1/2003 and end 12/31/2003.
* Save.
* Then I recalculate hyperlinks for the FP Web. In both Normal and
Preview views in FP, the include content is there on the page where
I've inserted it, as scheduled.
* Look at the live Web site, no include content where it should be.

All cache emptying, etc. has been done.

It will not change Until you either
- open your FP site after the scheduled time and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
- publish changes to your site after the scheduled time

Yep
His Publisher has an option to just Recalc the FP SE web on a schedule

You may wish to take a look at J-Bots

Mike,

Is J-Bots a different product, or something else in FP2002? I don't
understand why I shouldn't be able to make a feature of FP2002 work?

Both of those conditions apply, but the include doesn't display the
content on the live site that it does in FP.

Still, my actual question isn't "please fix mine," it's "can anyone
point me to one that _does_ work 'as advertised.'"

If you published to, or opened your online (not local) site after the scheduled date/time, Clear your browser cache and history
