If placing Includes on 200 pages must they ALL be uploaded if master page is altered.

[Tony M]

I tried INCLUDE method in FP and it worked ok. BUT one thing I don't
understand is

Having done a test placement on a dozen pages, I made some corrections on
the main control page
and then went to FTP to upload the ONE MASTER PAGE .After clicking the ftp
refresh I noticed the FTP TIME STAMP on all the 12 pages had been
refreshed even though I never touched them.

Does this mean that if I place the INCLUDE on 200 pages and make a change in
the master page
I then have to upload the 200 pages ?????????

Yes
- only way to avoid that is use server side includes (if your host support them)

Tony,

FrontPage includes are "save time". That means when you save the file,
FrontPage automatically goes out and updates all the files needed for you.
The only work effiiciency you get is not needing to open all the files and
modify them identically.

A server include is a "run time" include, meaning when the server sends the
user the file, it sees the include, grabs the data and then inserts it into
the stream of data sent back. Those types of includes don't require you to
modify every file because the server does it as it runs or "on the fly".
