I have a webpage that has about 118 pages. There are menus needed on about
90 of these pages.

Looks good, but I may need a little more, 90 of the pages need to have the
same menus, I don't want to change the code in all of the pages, and not
all html files are located in the same locaton (but they are all are on the
same domain,server).

That's not a problem. Use a server-side or FP include for the menu. But
what do you mean by not at the same location? Do you mean that you are
linking cross-domain? That wouldn't be a problem either.

Put the menus in a dynamic web template file (FP2003 only) or Server Side
Include (SSI which requires all files with the included page to have an
*.shtml extension) or Frontpage include component page (FP 2003 & earlier).

You will then have the one file with the menus but you still would have to
go through 90 files and include the file or attach the template to each
one - a lot of work nonetheless.

All pages are in the same domain, example I have menus top
title,(FieldDeployment, OrderingShipping), like (File, Edit) are all folder
names, and inside these folders are the HTML documents that are linked to
the submenus of this menus.
A little confusing, and alot of work.

Well about 90 files I need to change when I add or change a menu. If I
could have one place I can change this it would be great. I will try the
namic web template file since I am running Frontpage 2003. Thanks

That's a perfect justification for using an include. One file. One set of
changes. One page to publish. All pages reflect the changes.

FYI: FP will not manage the links, so the link would have to be absolute URLs to the pages.
