File | Publish Web is grayed out. I see, I see--you are
correct--I only opened 1 page although I could nav. to
others via CTRL-Click. How do I open the whole web? I used
the "Edit with MS FP" under File in IE(6)--the only way I
could figure out how to get FP to open anything. And I
still get the error message I listed in the first thread.
I have had trouble at times with this ISP over the years
but they are cheap and the tech support isn't bad (when
they are able to help me). They haven't been able to help
me with this problem, though. They have removed and re-
installed the FP ext. a week or so ago to no avail. It all
started after they "upgraded" their servers a few months
ago (Apache w/FP ext.). My nav. bars are "hand-made" since
I could never get the FP-generated bars to publish
properly or at all. My page counter still works (index
only), although the title bar (a gif file) is missing from
the rest of the pages. Another thing that happened at the
time of the aforementioned "upgrade" was that my links
back to "home" (index) on the other pages developed an
extra "l" (L) as in index.htm to index.html and for some
reason would not work with the server.?. I am prepared to
FTP the whole site but I would have to rewrite the links
for every page (including thumbnails) and I am not looking
forward to THAT! I think my problem is something on my end-
-a security/permissions setting?
Win2000prosp4/Off2000presp3. Thanks for your reply and
help! Bob
