The posts & post file number are server generated and not editable
- based on data stored on server in _vti_pvt/service (editing it will corrupt your web)
as vti__discussion_articlenumber:IX|Z (Z is the last article #)
That is why a DW should always be a subweb and Never published to after it is set up online
- your local version has no idea what the online version post #'s are and will always reset it to 1, thus scrambling your posts

| Do you know where or how FrontPage updates the next file name that it will
| use? For example, I can access the FrontPage page/hit counter and I can set
| this counter to start at any number. Is the counter/file that it uses for the
| next file name accessible or is it internal to the Discussion Form Handler?
| I've had problems with the Discussion Group web and there have been times
| when the link was broken to the messages that were stored. When I
| re-published the web pages, FrontPage started over by using 00000001.htm as
| the first file name. If I already had this file in the message board location
| then FrontPage just added the new message to the message that was already
| there causing problems. Although the original files were still in the
| _Discuss folder I actually had no link to the message files. One last thing,
| how can I update the table of contents, the tocproto.htm file?
