Site changes appear in FrontPage but are showing up online - help, please

[thats]

I have two websites, both created using FrontPage. They've both been
up and running happily since 1996. I am currently using FrontPage 2002
on a Win98 system.

After recently changing some text at both sites, and clicking on Save
to save the changes, one of the two sites immediately reflected the
changes, and has already been correctly indexed by Google.

However, the second site doesn't reflect those text changes. I am
using exactly the same procedures for both sites, and do not
understand why only one of the two sites is reflecting the changes.

This problem was apparent several days ago as I was editing both
sites, as the changes showed up online immediately upon using "Save"
with one site, but never showed up on the second site. My ISP's tech
support suggested I hold down the Ctrl key while refreshing the page
with my browser, to get rid of the old page out of cache, and it
worked. However, today, the site is back to the old pre-update text,
and holding down Ctrl while refreshing the page has no effect.

When I open FrontPage, the changes are there, but they just won't show
up online.

Thanks for all suggestions.

First thing to try... Clickm the REFRESH button on your web browser.
Due to the odd way the Internet browsers work, you can often have new
content on a page, but your browser doesn't know it's changed, and so
it shows you the old verion it has saved locally. In it's mind, it's
doing you a favor.

Trye REFRESH, then try SHIFT REFRESH and then try CTRL-REFRESH. I be
the changes will appear.

Worst case, delete your temporary internet files (in IE: Tools\Internet
Options\Delete Files).

The following paragraph leads me to believe you are editing one page and
then attempting to publish it to two separate servers. If this is the
case...

Suggestion 1: Try using "Save as..." instead of "Save". Frontpage may be
seeing that you already saved your page, no matter where, and (scarcastic
tone) it intelligently decides for you, "S/He doesn't really want to save a
page he just saved without having made any changes. I'll just ignore that
command for his own good."

Suggestion 2: Once you have published to the first server, make a small
change (like typing a space or . or x) and then publish to the second
server. Then, delete the small change you made, and publish to the second
server again. Frontpage will notice the change, and publish the page.

Suggestion 3: Set Frontpage options to NOT cache your work. I forget where
that option is.
