can you post just one page of your website using http?

I need to do small updates from time to time and don't want to upload the entire site every time. Any suggestions?

Actually, it is possible to do manual incremental upolading as well. I do it
all the time with Publisher 2000. I would not live long enough to upload my
entire site each time I made minor changes on a dialup connection (it would take
several hours each time). What I do is us an FTP client, and only upload the
files and/or directories I change. You must remember to upload any graphics
elements you change also, but if the changes are text-only, you generally need
upload only the particular .html file you changed. Works like a charm.

I performed these actions:

opened the Pub2003 Site on my desktop. Went to File and selected "publish to the web". Typed in the 4th page file name xxxx.htm. When I tested the change, there was no difference, however, I noticed that the entire site was uploaded just with the new name that I had typed. I checked the allow incremental upload space. It had been selected all along. What am I doing wrong?

Apparently you are misunderstanding how it works, what it does.
You don't/can't specify a page(s) to upload.
With incremental uploading turned on Pub writes a tracking file on the
server, with each publish it updates that file and compares it to the
document.
You still publish the same way as you do with the option off.
The only difference is invisible to you.
The difference being that Publisher will compare files and see that only
changed ones need to be "re" uploaded.
It typically takes 3 -4 uploads before that is fully functional as the first
publish creates the tracking file, and then that tracking file needs to be
built up.

Damzish,

First you have to enable the incremental upload. If you haven't, the
go to tools/options/web/check off "incremental publish to web". Pres
OK.

Finally, you have to upload via ftp from the publisher 2003 web site
You can't do it from a 3rd party ftp program. Won't work otherwise. I
you need help setting up the ftp program from ms publisher 2003, le
me know and I will outline it - in simpler terms than microsoft does.
get lost with their explanations.

If you upload from publisher 2003 to your ISP, then the incrementa
aspect takes over automatically and really cuts down on the tim
factor.

I would do that but apparently, the forms created in Pub wont' work unless you upload HTTP. David any comments?

Forms require http publishing.
