unable to import or publish web site

[Sam]

Here's my problem:
I am designing two web sites that are located on two different servers. Both
servers have the FP extensions installed.
One web site I have been able to import and publish to the server with no
problems. The other web site, I was able to do the same up until yesterday.
I am now unable to import the site to my computer, and also unable to
publish it to the server.
The one web site asked for a login, but the site I'm having trouble with
doesn't ask anymore. It just says I cannot import or publish to the server
and then gives me a list of possible causes.
Now, the strange thing is that I can import and publish to that server on
another computer which has FP installed on it. So, it seems the extensions
are ok.
Should I reinstall FP? I can't think of any reason why one site would
publish and another won't. They are hosted by two different companies, but
like I said I can import and publish to the server on another computer.
Any help would be appreciated.

Try this:

Go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and download FP Cleaner.
Run the Functions that clear the FrontPage temporary files and the Cache(*.web) files.

See if it helps.

Has this happened often? I'm glad I have the web files saved on another
computer.
If that solution doesn't work, will reinstalling FP help?

I wouldn't say often.

I don't believe reinstalling FrontPage is going to solve anything.
It's either an issue with some leftover .tmp or .web cache files, or a mangled web site
address.

Also, fwiw, you should "always" publish webs between locations and not use import for moving
an entire web.

Ok, I tried FP Cleaner, but that didn't work. There's something missing. The
other web site requests a login to the server before I publish, but the site
in question doesn't ask for a login. I find that odd.
Any other suggestions?

Thanks. Is there any chance I lost some type of permission to alter the site?
When I try to open the web site from my home computer, it states that I can
download the site as a read only file, but I don't have permission to make
changesr. My work computer doesn't notify me of that.
