documents in this folder are not available

"Documents in this folder are not available. The folder
may have been moved, deleted or network problems may be
preventing a connection to the server"

I have recently started seeing this message when clicking
on the insert hyperlink button. I cannot insert relative
hyperlinks to documents within the subweb I am working
on, and any attempt to navigate to the subweb results in
this error.

I am unsure when it started happening. I recently
installed some hotfixes including 811114 and also Office
2003. I first started experiencing it with FP2002, so
today I installed FP2003 (I'm a MSDN member) only to find
exactly the same problem. It's as if FP doesn't have
permission to show the pages within the subweb from this
dialog even though they all appear as normal in the
folder list.

In fact the more I investigate, the odder it seems. When
saving new documents in a newly created subweb, the Save
dialog does not default to the subweb root, but 'My
documents', and even when I navigate to
\inetpub\wwwroot\<subwebname> and save it there, the
folder list is not updated to show the file just saved.

I'm running XP Pro, local IIS server and FP2003. No IIS
settings have been changed to my knowledge.

Something's changed, I don't know what. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Huw

Delete the cached (and possibly corrupted) copies of your webs - Close
FrontPage, and do a Find | Files and Folders | Named *.web, and delete them.
