Refresh Glitch?

E

Ellen Cataldo

An user created a new page on July 25th using FrontPage
2000. She asked me to review it but I when I went to look
for it in the list of files on our Web, (using FrontPage
2002), I couldn't locate it. On July 30th, I still
couldn't see it. The user showed it to me using FrontPage
2000. I had a hunch and did a REFRESH and then it
appeared.

Any idea why my refresh rate would be five days old? Is
automatically hitting the Refresh key the only answer?

TY.

I may not have been clear in my posting. The user cannot
see the the new page file listed when he is looking at the
FP2K2 Page and/or Folder view. If he hits his Refresh key
(F5), then he finally sees it. Viewing the page, via a
browser, is not what is being done.

Question is, does he have to automatically hit his Refresh
key before viewing the website's file/folder listing, in
order to ensure that he is seeing the most up-to-date
listing?

Sorry for the confusion.

That's sometimes a problem w/ multiple users accessing the same FP web
When each user closes the web, FP creates a cache files (*.web) on the users machine, which it uses to "speed" up your viewing of
the web content (say Folder List).
The *.web file is essentially a "summary" of all the individual FP config files in the web

Obviously your *.web file does not match her *.web cache file (because of her changes), so initially it is essentially "corrupt"
until you Refresh - or better still run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks

IMHO
Any time multiple users are opening the same FP web from different logins (on same machine) or different machines, they should
always delete the *.web file before opening the web in FP, or run a Tools Web Settings Advanced - Delete Files, and a Tools
Recalculate Hyperlinks immediately on opening the web in FP
- the delay in opening the web is worth it to make sure the web cache file is not corrupted

Aaaah,

If a file is added while FP is open on another machine,
the other user will either have to Refresh, or close and reopen the web.
