Navigation bars disappeared

[Nigel Jennings]

Hi good people

I have just upgraded from FP2000 to FP2003 (thanks for your advice Rob).
This is the first successful installation of FrontPage on a new PC running
XP. I copied across my FP2000 web folders from the old PC and all files are
all present and readable in FP2003, but the shared navigation/menu panels
have disappeared. The FP2003 web site navigation tab reveals no structure
beyond default.htm.

If it helps, the previously-saved menu structure is viewable on the
published website at http://www.mmyc.co.uk

Is there any way I can get FP2003 to pick up the navigation structure
created in FP2000? Or does FP2003 do things differently?!

Many thanks
Nigel

How did you "copy" the site??
If by burning to a CD and then copying to the new machine, all of the files
have had the Read Only attribute set.
The best way is to open your live site on the server from your new machine
and then "Publish" it back to your new computer.

Hi Steve

Copying was done across my home network. All the files appear to have
retained their writable status, read-only attribute is not set.

I will try transferring the web back from the server copy and let you know
how I get on.

Cheers,
Nigel

You need to publish between location to maintain the shared borders, themes, and navigation
structure, etc., not copy

Hi Tom & Steve

Hey, you know what? You chaps are really good

Rather than access the server, for speed I published across my home network
from my old PC to my new PC and whadayaknow, the navigation structure is
intact!

It's funny how you go through life 'getting by' but not really understanding
the whole picture. Well, some of us anyway... ;-)

Thanks guys, happy Christmas
