Problem Opening site to update it. No error.

[mwdallas]

I last updated my website via frontpage with no problem yesterday. Now, when
i go into frontpage 2003 and click on OPEN SITE and select the site, then
click on index.html nothing happens. I typically will see my home page
displayed. I just see the contents of my C: drive where my website is stored.

What happens when you type the path to the locally stored website...like;

Open | Site then
C:\My Documents\My Webs\yourwebsiteslocalname ?

or browse to the web folder where you website is stored locally

When I type the path instead of going to the folder and clicking OPEN, it
just gives me the "CONTENTS" of that folder (all of my website files). This
is so frustrating because I've been doing this for over a year and have never
had this problem. I do get an Activation Wizard to activate the software,
but I have the disk and own the software and haven't had to do this before.

Gosh Rob! That was it... I kept getting this annoying message to activate my
Frontpage. It was still letting me work even after constantly saying to
"remind me later". I just now activated it online and now I see my Home page
displayed. I'm going to try and make a change and publish to ensure this
works and that did the trick...
