Rick_E as well as traintracts,
Have not heard of traintacts following Rick_E's recommended steps. I'll try to help flesh things out a bit...
Rick, you stated (and I'll comment with +++ brackets):
* Start FrontPage and close any webs that may be open.
* Select the File menu and choose Open Site. Open web address http://domain.com (substitute your domain name.)
+++++Question: as the online site is visible in FP, it does not allow for NAVIGATION view, and barely shows HYPERLINKS. Normal? +++++
* Select the File menu and choose Publish Site. Publish to the "File System" and browse to a new, empty folder on your computer. When you publish, answer "yes" to create a web in the new folder. As you publish, all of the files will be brought down properly to your computer.
+++++QUESTION: everything gets "brought down"? navigations, links? When I publish to a local folder, I soon get a window indicating that "The following pages in your website contain dynamic FrontPage components, such as Search Form or a FP Form Handler' They will not work unless they are published to a web server running the FPSE"
If I just select continue, the publishing goes a bit further and another windows pops up: "The following pages in your Web are ASP. They will not work because the server you are publishing to does not support ASP"
So, obviously, as I again press "Continue", the publishing to local folder will not be complete, right?+++++
* Select the File menu and choose Close Site.
* Select the File menu and choose Open Site. Browse to the folder on your computer and Open.
* Edit pages as desired and save them. When finished, select the File menu and choose Publish Site. Publish the site to http://domain.com (substitute your domain name.)
+++++QUestion: if I just edits specific pages, do I publish to the website online by selecting Tools>>>Options>>>Publish>>>Changed pages Only? What I am trying to do is: 1) Edit some info out of a few pages 2)Simply eliminate some obsolete pages off the site. Neither having forms ot ASP stuff in them.++++
I'll appreciate and also hope that this thread will help others still grappling with FP2002
-Thanks - Roger T

The following pages in your website contain dynamic FrontPage components, such as Search Form or a FP Form Handler' They will not work unless they are published to a web server running the FPSE This is a normal message because your computer does not have the FPSE extensions on it. Forms, etc. wont work until back up on the server.
quote:
following pages in your Web are ASP. They will not work because the server you are publishing to does not support ASP Again this is a normal message. The ASP pages should work once they are back up on the server.

quote:

Publish (in FP 2003) by selecting the File menu and choosing Publish Site. Publish the site to the same name as the web you opened earlier (http://domain.com or http://www.yourdomain.com) .Yes you will be publishing changed pages only. Pages you delete should get deleted on the server during the publish.
