Which site is the most recent / up to date??
If the one on your machine, publish to the remote with "Publish all pages" selected.

Hi Steve Thanks for the reply, well this is what happned my business partner
bailed on me and he was the computor guy, so ive just been winging it. He was
working on one site he didnt pay the bills and they were getting ready to
delete it, so i changed the domain name, when i started working on it i didnt
realize that i had opened a new site. When I published the old site it loaded
the product files from what i was working on were on the folder list but
would not load on to the site. Now I have unmatched files between local and
remote. I recalculated hyperlink, that didnt work. HELP!!

Step One: BACKUP your local copy. Heck do it several times to be safe!

Then, if you'd made changes you know you want to preserve, publish those to
the remote site. Be conservative here though - don't publish anything you
know is better! [In FtPg, click on Remote Web Site at the bottom, connect, &
then choose "Local To Remote" (at bottom right) and View "File To Publish"
(at top left). Then manually select/highlight files you want to publish,
right-click and select "Publish Selected Files".]

Then grab anything from the remote site - this is the LIVE site, right?
Presumably it has all the latest & greatest pages anyways (except possibly
some experimental/future ideas that weren't made public) and is probably what
you really want. [For this, Choose "Remote to Local".]

Re-backup, now that you have a copy of the REAL site on your computer.

Good luck!

To backup:
1) In FrontPage, note local location for your web site (top item in the
Folder List pane, generally at the left of FrontPage). Then close FrontPage.
2) Open Windows Explorer (Press the "Start" button and "E" simultaneously --
or right click "My Computer" on the desktop and choose "Explore")
3) Navigate to where your web site is locally. Select it. Select Edit Menu's
Copy option. Then go to a new drive/location and do Edit Paste. Right click
this new directory and rename it with the current date and time and a
meaningful name.

Hi John, thanks for the info i did the back up and it worked, i checked the
site afterwards my link buttons are gone. what i did find is i have a home
page and a default home page. When I go into the navigation structure the
picture of the folders the only one there is the home page, when i open it up
it is the default. should i go to the live site and copy that back home page?

To backup:
1) In FrontPage, note local location for your web site (top item in the
Folder List pane, generally at the left of FrontPage). Then close FrontPage.
2) Open Windows Explorer (Press the "Start" button and "E" simultaneously --
