How do I recover the files needed for publishing my web site with Frontpage
2000.

How did they get "lost"??

The .cnt files are the hit counter "count" files.

How did you loose/delete them?

If you delete them, then they are gone forever, unless you have a backup/copy or have publish to a
live/remote server that has the FP extensions?

If they're gone then you'll need to create new ones. It's fairly simple
though. Just create a new file with the exact same name as the page the hit
counter is on, then add .cnt to the end (keep the normal page extension such
as newpage.htm and make it newpage.htm.cnt) and save the file into the
_private directory.

In this file add the following text: FPCountFile 00000000001

You can change the number to be whatever you want, or whataver you think the
number was and then the hit counter will mirror this.

Hope this helps,
