Problem with FrontPage

[Bill King]

I've recently run into a problem with FrontPage 2002 that never came up
in my two years of using it. The original myweb folder that contained
all my files suddenly turned into a regular file folder. The result is
that FrontPage can't upload from this folder. I tried creating a new
myweb folder and moved all my files into it. I had to re-upload every
single file, but that was no problem. Afterwards, the myweb folder
turned into a regular folder again. (The icon for a myweb folder has a
globe on it, while a regular folder doesn't.)

What's going on here? I'm thinking that it has something to do with the
fact that I uninstalled IE 6.0 and switched to the Mozilla Firefox
browser. Can anyone confirm?

Explain "FrontPage can't upload from this folder"
- can you open the folder as a FP web by browsing to it in FP and using File Open Web/Site

Hi Bill,

It sounds as if someone converted the folder to standard folders. Try creating a disk based web at that folder location. FP will
detect that the folder already exists and will ask if you wish to convert the folder to a web.

Tried of having to go to the menu bar to get a command or wishing you could have that command on the context menu?
Now you can with At Your Command!

You know what? I tried that and it worked. Thanks a lot!

Thanks. That worked.
