I suspect you host is correct and knows what they are talking about
- Most hosting "site builders" rely on absolute server side links
- they may display fine on your PC (in FP) but not run on the server unless the other
tools related to the site builder are active
Rebuild your local site w/o any of the sitebuilder content

|I am a small business owner with a fairly advanced knowledge of MS Office
| products, but I am a relative novice when it comes to web design and
| publishing. I purchased FrontPage 2003 about 3 weeks ago and have found it
| relatively easy to use because of its similarity to other MS Office products.
|
| My small business web site has been hosted by Yahoo Small Business for the
| past 3 years or so. I designed the site using the Yahoo SiteBuilder web site
| building tools they provided. I recently wanted to update the site to a more
| advanced format using frames and a common interface for all pages so that
| future re-designs and changes would be easier. I created a new FrontPage
| site by doing the following:
|
| 1. Imported the original SiteBuilder site files into FrontPage;
| 2. Set up frames for the header, contents, body (main), and footer using
| elements from the old SiteBuilder site such as background images, pictures
| and menu bars;
| 3. Made copies of all original content pages;
| 4. Deleted all content from the original content pages except for the
| background, page titles and keywords;
| 5. Rebuilt each content page by first copying a uniform layout template
| (text or form boxes) to the page, then cutting and pasting the original text
| and form fields into the page;
| 6. Corrected all form field names and content to conform to FrontPage rules;
| 7. Viewed reports to make sure that there were no site errors except for
| those associated with the site needing to be published to work correctly.
|
| I then prepared my internet space on the Yahoo small business server by
| using LeechFTP to delete all files and directories on the Yahoo web hosing
| server (except for the access log files).
|
| Then, following directions from a Yahoo technician, I activated FrontPage
| for my Yahoo-hosted web site.
|
| I then published my new FrontPage web site to the Yahoo web server using
| FrontPage.
|
| Next, I viewed my web site online and found that it was not displaying
| correctly. The frames seemed to be in place, but all the content for the
| frames and main page was missing (A lot of “Not Found” errors were displayed
| on the screen).
|
| Next, I ran the “Recalc All” for FrontPage on the Yahoo web hosting control
| panel. This process seemed to run for several hours, but never finished.
|
| I called Yahoo technical support and was told that the problem was that
| pages created in SiteBuilder could not be imported into FrontPage and,
| therefore, my web pages were incompatible with FrontPage. I am skeptical of
| this answer due to the fact that FrontPage did not list any page errors and
| was able to display the pages correctly in previews on my computer.
|
| Any suggestions on how to get my FrontPage web site to display correctly on
| the Yahoo web server? Are there really incompatibilities between
| SiteBuilder-created pages and FrontPage-created pages such as .htm vs. .html,
| etc?
