First, thank you very much for responding, I really do appreciate it!
1) I have never opened the site from CD, only from a folder on hard drive as
you mentioned. I however have never removed any read only attributes. Would
this be causing the problem and how do I do this. Do you mean right click on
the file and change to something else and if so what should the attribute be?
2) The online site does have fontpage 'server extensions' installed guessing
that is what your FP SE stands for. So you are saying I can bypass my WS_FTP
Pro software and edit the pages directly on the site with FrontPage? What
steps are involved with publishing it to PC as you mentioned? I have tried
to do this from "open site" in FrontPage, but don't see an option of getting
on a server or publishing from the web to my PC?

Thanks again for your time!
