Lost The Navigation & Theme - FP2000

[Dick]

I upgraded my OS today from XP Home to XP Pro. In the process, I lost
most of my programs, and had to reinstall everything, including
FP2000.

Fortunately, I had the entire website backed up in several places. I
can open the site by clicking on the index.htm file in a file manager,
and the site opens in Internet Explorer perfectly. However, when I
try to open the same file in the same folder from within FP2000, I
lose all the navigation and theme. If I then try to open with
index.htm from a file manager again, the navigation and theme is gone
there too. FP is doing something to the files to eliminate the nav
and theme.

Do not use anything but FP to Open your Web/Site (not just your page)
File Open Site and browse to the folder containing your FP site

That's what I did the first time. FP said it had to add something to
the files. I let it do that, and I think that's when things went bad.

I think my only way out of this now is to reverse publish the site
back to my hard drive. Could you please give me a refresher course in
doing that? I never seem to be able to remember the proper steps.

When you folks say, "Do a file/open site" what does that mean in
FP2000? I have the choice of File/Open and File/Open Web. Do I click
on the world symbol and open Internet Explorer or ???

Thanks Stefan. I finally figured out that it is necessary to type the
website URL in the folder box, and avoid loading Internet Explorer.
Everything went smoothly after that. I'm a little gun-shy when FP
asks, "Do you want to merge the navigation structure," I always use
the don't change the navigation structure on the website.

When you get the merge navigation option, select the option to replace.
