Frontpage file windows not populating

D

David

When I right-click on a picture, chose Picture
properties, click on the General tab, and click the
browse button, the Picture window appears, but none of
the files or folders show up.

When I highlight text, right click and choose hyperlink,
the only files that show up are the ones I have open.

Yesterday Frontpage was working fine.
The other machines on the network don't have this
problem, only mine.
If I log in as someone else, Frontpage works correctly.

Can anyone help me? I would have searched the site, but
search isn't working today.

Make sure to start by opening the entire site, and not just the page you want
to modify.

This is a known error condition (probably associated w/ Web folders)

Clean up all FP Temp files and Web cache files for the site
1) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
- in FP 2003 you need to look in the super hidden folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
2) In Windows Explorer Find and delete all hidden *.web files
Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache

Also delete any Network Places for the site My Network Places

Then Try stopping and restarting IIS on your server at the root level

Next ReOpen FP and the site and run a Tools recalculate Hyperlinks

If the problem persists post back for a more detailed alternative solution

That is the case - I have Frontpage open the last opened
site at startup. All the files are showing up under
the 'Web Site' tab - just not in the smaller windows
mentioned.

Thank you for your response. I will try these and post
back as soon as I can (server work will have to be after
5pm local time).

I think I covered all of these steps (even rebooting the
server) but it still isn't working. Could you please post
the alternative solution?

Thanks in advance,

OK
The below is Not verified to work in all cases, but try the below steps

In Windows Explorer Find and delete the hidden *.web web cache files for the local and remote webs you are having the problems with
(or delete all *.web)
( Usually in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache )

1) Open your FP web using File Open site and browsing to Network Places for your site
2) Select the site (double click the site in Network Places) but Do Not Open it
This will get you the File selection dialog (where you can't probably can't see any of the folders or subwebs in the site)
3) On the same line as "Look In" you will see a series of Icons, Select the Folder Icon for Created New Folder (or use [Alt][5])
(Make sure the New Folder Dialog has Documents selected under: Folder Contains)
4) Enter a folder name (that you are sure is not in your current web - say: fixit) and OK
5) Use the Up One Folder Icon, or [Alt][2], and select Open (your root web)
(your web folders should have shown you all your folders including the newly created one)
6) Run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
7) Open a page, select some text, and try to insert a Hyperlink to see if your web folder view is repaired (if your web is not
displayed in Look In, browse to it under Network Places)
(Delete the new folder created above)

Alternatively:
1) Open your FP web using File Open site and typing in the URL as http://www.yoursite.com/ (or use File Recent Sites)
2) Open a new (or existing page) at the Root level and select an insertion point on the page
3) Use Insert - Picture - From File
This will get you the File selection dialog (where you probably can't see anything now but the open page listed)
4) On the same line as "Look In" you will see a series of Icons. Select the Folder Icon for Created New Folder (or use [Alt][5])
(Make sure if shown the New Folder Dialog has Documents selected under: Folder Contains)
5) Enter a folder name (that you are sure is not in your current web - say: fixit) and OK
6) Use the Up One Folder Icon, or [Alt][2], and see if your web folders are repaired
7) Cancel the dialog and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks, then try inserting a hyperlink or picture from file
(Delete the new folder created above)

Please post back if either of the above cures the web folders problem
