Hey Helpers!! I've spent hours. Created folder in My Networks with name of my
website, http://www.gracepublishing.org. saved the Publisher files to the one
file enabled. Everything seems to work except the changes to the website. The
original website was created in Pub-2000. I'm missing something but I don't
know what.
Thanks in advance.

Publisher has changed a quite a bit since Pub 2000. There is a new coding
engine and the way you produce your web files are different among other
things. In Pub 2000 you would Save As a Web Page to produce your web files.
In Pub 2007 you Publish to the Web. In Pub 2007, unless you change the
default you then get an index.htm file (your home page) and an idex_files
folder that contain all your other pages and the images and other supporting
grahpics. In Pub 2000 there was no subfolder. You do have the option of
turning that default option off if you want to. Tools > Options > Web tab.
Note also that the default file extension is now .htm and not .html, though
they both work.

Perhaps most importantly is that if you moved to Vista from XP, or IE7 from
IE6, then the method of uploading has changed too. It appears from your site
that you are using forms, and thus HTTP uploading protocol vs. FTP
uploading. Here is an article that describes uploading protocols:

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site:

It is written for Pub 2007, but if you are using IE7 instead of IE6, then
the directions for using Vista would apply. FTP uploading has changed with
the introduction of IE7. Pay particular attention to the instructions for
FTP uploading in Vista. You can probably modify these to use HTTP and
mapping a network drive.

You might also read these two articles to understand how Publisher has
evolved:
