Thank you for your note. Although I've never considered myself to be an
expert, I have been quite comfortable with Pub and have really been bashing
my head as to why this doesn't work. The site, I thought, looked great and
it is really frustrating not being able to post it.

I don't have a problem delaying this, however this is for a local town
festival (with vendor app forms et al) and I am getting friendly "reminders"
that I don't have the site up and running yet. Based on what I had done in
the past, I didn't foresee any problems and promised to have this running by
08/01. Any idea of how long you would like for this to stay up? I could
probably stall them if I had an idea (I could fake a stroke or something).

Right now, I am trying to quickly put together an alternate webpage via the
webhost, at least get the app forms up anyway.

Thank you for your help. Look forward to your reply

Scott,

I am sorry to say, that you are one of those "special" few people that have
encountered this problem using Pub 2003. Unfortunately, no one has been able
to come up with an explanation as to why it happens, or how to fix it. The
resident MVP escalated the issue to Microsoft, but never got an answer back
to my knowledge.

If it is ok with you, I would like to submit this problem to the Pub 2007
beta team, and see if they can find a solution, as I believe that the coding
engine in Pub 2007 is pretty much unchanged from Pub 2003, and they might
want to fix this bug prior to releasing 2007. If that is ok with you, post
back and let me know, and leave the site up for a while, so they can see
what the problem is.

I have a website I put together for a local festival using MS Pub 2003.
Used
a prior version last year on my computer at work Pub2000 (never had a
problem). In checking prior to using FTP, the site worked fine (all
hyperlinks etc worked fine). In posted to FTP and host, it just will not
work. Continually get the same message the IE has to close. In checking
this
on another computer the same thing. The IE suggested that I disable the
add-on's until the problem is solved. Ended up disabling all the add-on's
(about 12). No change.

In transferring to FTP I use the Pub "Publish to Web", key FTP site
address
etc, it shows the transfer. In posting to the host, I key the files from
the
"My Network Places" and clicking on "index" where the files are listed. I
omitted the "wmz" files thinking that was causing the problem. Inreading
the
other blogs I saw this wasn't a problem and went back and keyed those in
as
well. Still the same thing. This site is about 17 pages.

I found one problem was the firewall and disabled that and was at least
able
to post to the FTP site. (Using Earthlink and subsequent add-on's).
I went so far as to create a simple 1 page site from the templates
provided
but still the same thing, same error message. Is there a simple fix here,
I've spent obscenely too many hours on this. Ironically, this site is no
bigger than what I did last year on Pub 2000. Am I overlooking something?

The site is "www.celebratemidlandmagic.com". Any help or suggestions will
really be appreciated!
