Links disappear

J

Jenny

I'm using Front Page 2000, and am updating our web
pages. The pages appear fine on the Web site; however,
when I now open them in Front Page for further editing
the two out of six links have disappeared (top level). I
thought that MS Front Page may be caching the old stuff
so cleaned the files off my hard drive, but it's still
not working.

Thanks.

Jenny,
Try opening a web before editing individual pages. When you open a file or
page outside of a web, FP cannot associate any changes to the website

I bet your site uses Navigation View and Link Bars, and
that you retrieved a new copy of it for editing.

If the remote site has the FP Server Extensions
installed, be sure to open the remote site directly in
FrontPage, and then publish it to your local editing
location. If you try to "Import" the site, you'll lose
data.

If the remote site doesn't have the FP Server Extensions
installed, make sure that you retrieve *all* the files,
then open the receiving location via Open Web, then
choose Recalculate Hyperlinks from the Tools menu.
However, if the person who previously maintained the site
didn't publish the system files that record the
Navigation View diagram, you may have to rebuild that
diagram.
