You have to create a web first, then open the web and create your pages.
You sound like you just been creating pages without having a web.

| HELP! PLEASE!
| Frontpage 2003 repeatedly changes my functioning relative links, most are
| modified to point to the root directory C:, some to file:///c:... , and
some
| receive multiple ../  prefixes that do not lead to the proper folder.
|
| I have tried defining base locations for the files under Properties, but
the
| file location is greyed out & I can't force a fix here.   Is this another
| problem - or a symptom of the same one?  I think the latter?
|
| I've spent days fixing links only to have them modified willy nilly and
| broken by FP.
|
| I've tried finding where to 'preserve html' in FP2003, but the current
menu
| options are not the same (referring to prior suggestion for similar
problem
| in a former version of FP) .
|
| Yes, I built my site in folders ...is there any hope?
