Program crash when doing "Save As"

F

Fred Wade

In the last little while whenever I try to create a new page, or anytime I
click on Save As the program crashes. I get an error message that Front
Page has generated errors and needs to close.
Any ideas?

Regards,

Fred,

Need to know some more details about same.
1) Is it happens with only FP ?
2) to check this you can try to save some page using Internet Browser
try file-> save as -> filename.htm
try any office Application : file -> new -> save.
file-> save as -> filename.htm
3) If this works fine then you can try
Detect and repair Function in FrontPage.
If it didn't helped, you may need to Uninstall FrontPage and then try to
reinstall.
4) If this also failes then what version of FrontPage you are using.
IF it is 2000/ 20002 / 2003 try to uninstall Same office package and
then reinstall entire office and Frontpage.

Let me know what happens when you do all these steps.
best of Luck.

Also look into;

- corrupted header tags or sloppy header tags.

- check if the "Open" menu works, it probably crashes the program as well

- check in other sites, to they crash too? (if yes, see post below, if no,
see my comments below)

Crash on save as in a particular web is the header tag loading in the save
as window causing an error in FP.

USUALLY you can find the problem by examining the headers of ALL the html
files in the site. Clean up extra carriage returns, close all open tags,
make sure JavaScript is properly coded and IN the header tag not above or
below it.

Failing that, publish the site to a sub web, delete half (of the published
web) and try again. If it doesnt crash, the file was one of the ones
deleted. Rinse, repeat until you know what file is doing it. Then recreate
the file or focus on figuring out why that header crashes FP.

Also, if you are considering upgrading, newer versions do not seem to have
this problem (2000 and 2002 did have it I know for sure).

A work around; from the "Folders" view, simply copy the file you want to
":save as" instead, paste the copy and rename it from the Folder view.

I view this as a web problem, not a FrontPage problem. (Have run into it
probably 5 times in the last 7 years and it has always been a corrupted
header.)
