Sounds like corruption in your web folders
- I have also had it occur once
First have you host try to stop / restart the server and then run a health check / recalculate hyperlinks on the FP SE
If that doesn't work the below is Not verified to work in all cases, but try the below steps
In Windows Explorer Find and delete the hidden *.web web cache files for the local and remote webs you are having the problems with
(or delete all *.web)
( Usually in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache )
1) Open your FP web using File Open site and browsing to Network Places for your site
2) Select the site (double click the site in Network Places) but Do Not Open it
This will get you the File selection dialog (where you can't probably can't see any of the folders or subwebs in the site)
3) On the same line as "Look In" you will see a series of Icons, Select the Folder Icon for Created New Folder (or use [Alt][5])
(Make sure the New Folder Dialog has Documents selected under: Folder Contains)
4) Enter a folder name (that you are sure is not in your current web - say: fixit) and OK
5) Use the Up One Folder Icon, or [Alt][2], and select Open (your root web)
(your web folders should have shown you all your folders including the newly created one)
6) Run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
7) Open a page, select some text, and try to insert a Hyperlink to see if your web folder view is repaired (if your web is not
displayed in Look In, browse to it under Network Places)
(Delete the new folder created above)
Alternatively:
1) Open your FP web using File Open site and typing in the URL as
http://www.yoursite.com/ (or use File Recent Sites)
2) Open a new (or existing page) at the Root level and select an insertion point on the page
3) Use Insert - Picture - From File
This will get you the File selection dialog (where you probably can't see anything now but the open page listed)
4) On the same line as "Look In" you will see a series of Icons. Select the Folder Icon for Created New Folder (or use [Alt][5])
(Make sure if shown the New Folder Dialog has Documents selected under: Folder Contains)
5) Enter a folder name (that you are sure is not in your current web - say: fixit) and OK
6) Use the Up One Folder Icon, or [Alt][2], and see if your web folders are repaired
7) Cancel the dialog and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks, then try inserting a hyperlink or picture from file
(Delete the new folder created above)
Please post back if either of the above cures the web folders problem

| We've had a problem for the last several weeks where none of us (there are 5
| of us that work on a joint web site) can see any of the web site files or
| folders when we try to do things like insert a picture that is already stored
| on the site into a web page, or to add a hyperlink to a file that already
| exists on the site. The file browser dialog comes up blank. When we are in
| the main web site page in Front Page 2003, we can see all of the files. Our
| ISP has been unable to find any problem, and says that it appears to work
| fine in FP2000. Any idea what might be going on?
