FrontPage doesn't do what you're asking. It doesn't know whether or not you
are using that image. If you can't figure out which ones you're using,
delete them all and publish the web, emptying everything. That, just insert
the ones you want.

: OK, let me try to clarify a little .... The files we are talking about a
: images, thousands of them. These are on both the server and the computer.
: Unfortunatly I do not know which ones are actually being used with the
: present pages. I publish sets of photos, like 'Memorial Day' on my site
by
: linking each photo to an htm page.... Each month I do this I name the
photo
: and the page link to match the date ... this means that the older photo
: remains on the server, and my computer, and never gets replaced or
: overwritten. This has created a situation where there are thousands of
: photos, not being used, on both the server and my computer. Unfortunatly
I
: don't know exactly which photos are, and are not, being used by the
present
: pages.
: As this has created a site that is now well over 450 Megs, the majority
: being the old photos ... I really need to get them off of the server.
Seems
: like there ought to be an easy way to tell font page to publish just that
: which is actually being used so that I could delete all the photos on the
: server and then republish just the ones being used.
: OK, hope that helps
: If not please email me so I can give you whatever information you need
: thanks
