URGENT DB HELP

[Jeff]

OK gang. I have a question. When you click on a DB in FP to open it up. Is
there a default temp folder that it downloads to? My server had a critical
error while reuploading it back to server, so I need to be able to see the
file that was DL to my computer before the error.
Any help would be most appreciative. I do have a backup, but there have been
400 entries since last backup. I back up everyday, but this is what I gt on
a daily basis.
Thanks
Jeff

The database is downloaded to the FrontPage temporary directory, then
normally deleted when the file has been edited. The temp files should
also be deleted when you close FrontPage.
In FP2003, the FP temp directory is located at
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
In other versions, the temp directory is at:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp\FrontPageTempDir
Type or copy/paste these paths into the address bar in Windows
Explorer.

When editing an online database, it is best practise to open the
online web in FrontPage, then File->Export the database to the desktop
(or other convenient folder).
Edit the database, then use File->Import to place it back into the
web. This keeps an up to date backup on your desktop, and also tends
to avoid problems with errors when importing/uploading. Also import
the desktop version into your local copy of the web.
