Publishing while Indexing service is running?

Thank You very much, Gentlemen. If I understand your answer correctly, the
256 character limit includes all characters in the absolute path, starting
with the drive letter and including all characters including the file
extension? I was afraid of this.

It may mean a complete restructuring of this site that I seem to have
inherited.

On a related note, when publishing a web page, must the Indexing service be
turned off? I attempted publishing this morning, but the first error was
"Server Error: cannot access ~\catalog.wci" or something similar.

Thank You for any input.

No - Index Service should be left running, since the service indexes the
entire server, not just your web site.

The error looks as if the IS catalogue is inside your web space. If this is
true (and I hope it isn't), you cannot publish - FrontPage will want to
create its own folders and files in the catalogue folder, and FP does not
(and should not) have access. FP may also attempt to delete the catalogue,
since its files do not exist in your local copy.
